PREFACE 

This New Guide, like the Guide of 1917 upon which it is based, is planned to serve a 
double purpose—(1) to provide a text-book for the student who, either independently, or 
in library school, library training class or college class in bibliography, is beginning a sys¬ 
tematic study of reference books, and (2) to furnish a reference manual for the library 
assistant, research worker, or other user of library resources who needs a finger post to 
point out the reference tools available for some particular investigation. The needs of the 
two types of users have influenced different parts of the book. The demands of the second 
type have made the manual more comprehensive than it might perhaps have been if intended 
for a school text-book only, while the needs of the library school student have been kept 
particularly in mind in the annotations. Both types of users will, it is hoped, be helped 
by the detailed index of authors, titles, subjects and analytical references. 

The history of the present work is already known to those who have used the Guide 
of 1917. The American Library Association published, in 1902, a Guide to the study and use 
of reference hooks, by Alice Bertha Kroeger. This book, which was the outgrowth of Miss 
Kroeger’s long and successful experience in teaching reference work in the Drexel Institute 
Library School was, both because of its intrinsic worth and because it met an urgent need, 
immediately successful, and in practically all library schools in America was soon adopted 
as a regular text-book. Annual spplements for 1903-07 were printed in the Library journal, 
and in the fall of 1908 a second edition, revised and considerably enlarged, was issued. 
Miss Kroeger was planning to continue, along ever broadening lines, the manual which 
had by that time become the recognized text-book of the subject, when her work was cut 
short by her sudden death in the fall of 1909. All users of her book know how much she 
did for the advancement of the study and teaching of reference work, but only those, who, 
like the present writer, have had experience in that type of compilation can realize the 
immense amount of work which the making of her Guide had entailed. 

In 1910 the Publishing Board of the American Library Association asked the present 
writer to continue the Guide by the preparation first of supplements to the 1908 edition and 
eventually of an entirely new edition. Two pamphlet supplements for 1909-10 and 1911-13 
were published by the American Library Association, seven informal annual supplements 
for 1910-16 were printed in the Library Journal, and in 1917 a third entirely revised and much 
enlarged edition of the whole work was published. The passage of time and the many 
new questions and needs raised by the European War, then in its third year, had necessi¬ 
tated an unusually thorough revision; and the resulting third edition, while following the 
earlier form, was so changed in essentials as to be practically a new work. A new selection 
of titles was made, numerous items being eliminated and many new titles and some whole 
new lists and sections added, and forms of entry, imprint and collation were revised in 
many respects to bring the work more in line with the Library of Congress practice. In 
addition, the critical annotations, with some few exceptions, were entirely rewritten and 
greatly extended. The New Guide is based upon that third edition, with revision throughout 
and the addition of much new material. The total number of titles listed is now about 2100. 

In the New Guide the general form and arrangement of its predecessors, familiar to 
library school students through years of use, has been followed with some changes in 
headings and classification and with the addition of new sections, sub-sections and lists, 
notably in the large classes of General Encyclopedias, Biography, Geography and History, 
where new sections for European and Latin American countries have been added,—the latter 
with reference to the growing importance of information about Latin America. In the 
class of National Bibliography, lists for thirteen additional countries have been given on the 
same general lines as the American, English, French and German lists included in the 
earlier Guide. The number of new titles added throughout amounts to more than 500, 
without counting the new editions and continuations of works previously listed. 

War and after-war conditions have affected reference publications in many ways, and 
an enormous amount of checking and revision has been necessary to catch changes in 
title, publisher, editor, etc., as well as cases of suspended, discontinued or revived publication. 
Prices have been checked carefully throughout and are given on the following basis: (1) 
for American and English publications the prices are, in the main, those of the 1921 Pub¬ 
lishers 9 Trade List Annal and the 1920 Reference Catalogue of Current Literature , supple¬ 
mented by information from the Cumulative Book Index and Publishers Circular for latei 
publications; (2) for books published elsewhere than in the United States and Great Britain

the prices listed in the trade bibliography of the country of issue at the time of publication 
are used in most cases and no attempt has been made to record subsequent fluctuations in 
price. Foreign book prices are now so uncertain and so many factors besides list price 
determine the final cost of a book that the actual price to be paid at any given time must 
usually be ascertained by quotation from publisher or dealer. The list prices are given, how¬ 
ever, as supplying some kind of relative information. In the case of annuals and current 
periodicals only the price of the latest volume is given. In the main the inclusion of new 
titles, editions, etc., goes to the spring of 1922, but in a few cases, where it has been prac¬ 
ticable to do so, later information has been added as the work has been going through the 
press. Forms of entry now follow Library of Congress practice in most cases where printed 
cards were available, though occasional changes have been made, usually in the direction 
of economy of printing. 

The compiler extends grateful acknowledgment for the helpful suggestions received 
from many users of the 1917 Guide. Special acknowledgment should be made to Mr. James 
Ingersoll Wyer, Director of the New York State Library School, Miss Mary Emogene 
Hazeltine, Preceptor, Library School of the University of Wisconsin, and Miss Mary L. 
Sutliff, instructor in reference work in the Library School of the New York Public Library, 
for suggestions based upon their use of the Guide as a textbook; to Professor W. W. Rock¬ 
well of the Union Theological Seminary for the suggestion of many titles in the fields of 
theology and church history; to Mr. Frederick C. Hicks, Law Librarian, Columbia Uni¬ 
versity, for advice about the list of law reference books; and to Mr. Peter H. Goldsmith, 
Editor of Inter-America and Director of the Inter-American Division of the American 
Association for International Conciliation, for advice on the selection of Latin American 
material. To her colleagues on the reference staff of the Columbia University Library the 
compiler wishes to express hearty thanks for the many ways in which they have aided in 
her work.

INTRODUCTION 

REFERENCE DEPARTMENT 

The Reference Department of a library is that part of the system which is charged 
especially with the task of aiding readers in their use of the library, particularly in 
their use of the resources and books within the library walls as distinguished from the 
withdrawal of books for home reading. In a large library such a department will have 
its own staff, often of considerable size, with a chief reference librarian, several refer¬ 
ence assistants, often with specialized work, minor desk attendants, pages, etc. In a some¬ 
what smaller library one trained reference assistant may handle the whole work, while 
in the still smaller library all reference work may have to be done by the librarian or a 
general assistant. Whatever the size of the library, it will have questions of one sort 
or another brought to it by its readers and these must be answered in as far as the 
resources of the library permit. Much of the reputation of the library in its community 
will depend upon the success with which it handles its reference questions. 

Reference work is often spoken of as if it consisted only of the actual use of refer¬ 
ence books in answering questions for readers. In its widest and best development, 
however, the work of a reference department covers everything necessary to help the 
reader in his inquiries, including the selection of an adequate and suitable collection of 
reference books, the arrangement and maintenance of the collection in such a way that 
it can be used easily and conveniently, the making of such files, indexes and clipping 
collections as are needed to supplement the library catalog and the book collection, the 
training of a capable staff of reference assistants and their supervision in such a way 
as to insure skillful and pleasant service and good team work, the provision of posted 
signs, printed directions, lists and bulletins to help the reader who can profit by such 
guides, expert aid in the use of the catalog and other records, suggestions as to books 
to be used for special purposes, instruction of individuals, groups, or classes in the use 
of reference books and reference methods, and constant work in answering individual 
questions, in helping individual readers to find some elusive fact, or in correcting some 
wrong method of research on the part of an inexperienced reader. While a large part 
of this work will be administrative and advisory, with the purpose of helping the reader 
to help himself, there will always be included, also, a considerable amount of actual re¬ 
search work in looking up questions, both those that come in by mail or telephone, and 
those which readers, even with some advice and assistance, have found too difficult. 
A live reference department is not limited to' work within its own walls, but through 
inter-library loan, telephone reference work, knowledge of outside specialists—either in¬ 
dividuals, institutions or learned societies, government or public service bureaus, etc.— 
from whom help can be obtained, can often open up many profitable sources of informa¬ 
tion to its readers and investigators. In libraries connected with educational institu¬ 
tions, either colleges and universities or secondary schools, the work of the reference 
department will often include a regular course of lectures and class work on the use of 
books and libraries. Such a course, especially if it is a required course for freshman 
or other beginning students, not merely an elective course for advanced students, can 
be of great assistance in increasing the intelligent and effective use of library resources. 

However varied the work of a reference department may be, the reference book is the 
basis of its work. The most important element in the equipment of such a department 
is an adequate and live collection of reference books and the most important asset of a 
reference assistant is a knowledge of reference books and experience in using the right 
book at the right time and in the right way. The possession of the right books and the 
knowledge of how to use them are two things essential to the success of a reference de¬ 
partment, and the latter is no less important than the former. The ignorant assistant 
can render comparatively useless the finest collection of reference books, while the skilled 
assistant who knows how to get from each book all the varied kinds of information that 
it is planned to give, can show astonishing results even when limited to only a few basic 
books. 

REFERENCE BOOKS 

From the point of view of use, books may be divided into two groups: those which are 
meant to be read through for either information or enjoyment, and those which are 
meant to be consulted or referred to for some definite piece of information. Books of 
this second class are called reference books, and are usually comprehensive in scope, 

• • 

Vll

INTRODUCTION 


condensed in treatment and arranged on some special plan to facilitate the ready and 
accurate finding of information. This special arrangement may be alphabetic, as in 
the case of most dictionaries or encyclopedias; chronological, as in historical outlines and 
similar compends; tabular, as in the case of statistical abstracts; regional, as in atlases; 
classified or systematic as in the case of some bibliographies, technical handbooks, etc. 
As such books are used for the finding of single definite facts, some alphabetical approach 
to the fact is usually needed, and if the book is not itself arranged alphabetically it is 
usually provided with a detailed alphabetical index. Works which follow any of these 
indicated arrangements are reference books, pure and simple, and are not used for con¬ 
secutive reading. There are other books, however, which, while intended primarily to 
be read through for either information or pleasure, are so comprehensive and accurate 
in their treatment and so well provided with indexes that they serve also as reference 
books. Examples of such books are the “Cambridge History of American Literature," 
anthologies such as Stevenson’s “Home Book of Verse,” standard histories such as the 
“Cambridge Modern History," and many of the text-books and treatises used in college 
work. The reference department of a large library will necessarily contain both formal 
reference books and those “borderland” books as well, but the student of reference books 
will naturally devote most of his attention to the formal reference books, both because 
they are fundamental and because they need careful study before all their uses can be 
learned. Later, however, in doing actual reference work, he should realize that the formal 
reference books constitute only a part, though a very important one, of his collection of 
reference material and that the treatment of some reference questions will involve first 
the use of some standard reference book in the reference collection, then reference from 
that to some book in the stack to which the formal reference book has furnished a clue, 
or even to some source of information outside the library. 

HOW TO STUDY REFERENCE BOOKS 

Only constant and practical use of a reference book will make a student thoroughly 
familiar with its character and use, but the following suggestions will help him in his 
preliminary examination of the book. 

1. Examine title page carefully for information as to (a) scope of work as indi¬ 
cated in title, (b) author’s name, (c) author’s previous record (often indicated by list 
of degrees, positions, titles of earlier works, etc.), (d) publisher, (e) date of publication. 
Check date of publication by reference to copyright date and date of preface. 

2. Read preface or introduction for (a) further information as to scope of work, 
(b) special features claimed, (c) limitations, if any, (d) comparison with other books 
on same subject. 

3. Examine book itself for (a) arrangement, (b) kind of entry, (c) cross-references, 
i. e., extent to which included, whether given in main work or in separate list, etc., (d) 
supplementary lists, noting number and kind and how connected with main work, (e) 
indexes, noting fullness and exactness of reference, (f) quality and kind of articles, 
noting whether they are popular or scientific, signed or unsigned, impartial or biased, 
and especially whether they are equipped with satisfactory bibliographical references in 
the form of either appended bibliographies, references throughout the text or bibliograph¬ 
ical footnotes. Several articles should be read carefully, and compared with similar 
articles in other books. The student should, if possible, look up subjects upon which 
he has some special information. 

4. In examining both preface and articles note any evidence of lack of impartiality; 
e. g., if the book deals with a controversial subject, religious, political, etc., does it repre¬ 
sent only one side; or, in the case of a biographical work, is the selection of names, kind 
and length of article, etc., determined in any way by the desire to secure subscribers. 

5. In examining the arrangement of a book, note the possibility of variation in 
books which follow the same general arrangement; e. g., in a work arranged alphabetic- 
ally, note what rules for alphabetizing have been followed. Among encyclopedias, for 
example, the New International and the Americana follow different rules, and the stu¬ 
dent who does not observe that fact may miss the article for which he is looking. The 
alphabetizing of words containing an umlauted vowel is a possible source of confusion 
in many books, and in foreign reference books, in general, one should always remember 
points in which the foreign alphabetizing differs from the English. 

6. If the work in question purports to be a new edition, note carefully the extent 
of revision claimed for it and check this by comparison with earlier editions. New or 
revised editions often present very special difficulties, and the examination should be 
extended enough to determine whether the revision is (a) so complete and thorough that 


INTRODUCTION 


IX 


it supersedes the earlier work, (b) thorough, hut with the omission of some material, 
included in the earlier work which is still useful, in which case the two editions may 
have to he used together, or (c) so insufficient and superficial that the earlier edition 
is still to be preferred. A reference worker needs such information about a book for two 
purposes: (1) to decide whether or not the book should be purchased, and (2) to be 
able to explain to readers who ask for a so-called new edition why its purchase was not 
considered advisable.

NEW GUIDE TO REFERENCE BOOKS 


“Reference books are the clearing-houses of knowledge. They are libraries in miniature, 
focusing into a single book information scattered through a thousand volumes. They are 
short-cuts to learning, pass-keys to the accumulated wisdom of the ages. The ordinary 
reader knows little of them, and realizes but slightly the great help they would be to him in 
his daily reading and daily living.” W . G. Jordan in Literary era, 8 : 52 . 

“A selection of the best works of reference should be the corner-stone of every library 
collection.” A. R. Spofford in his Book for all readers. 

“It [a public library] should be rich in books of reference, in encyclopaedias, where one 
may learn without cost of research what things are generally known. For it is far more 
useful to know these than to know those that are not generally known.” Janies Russell 
Lowell in his Books and libraries.

PERIODICALS, ESSAYS, DEBATES, DISSERTATIONS 


PERIODICALS 

Periodicals form a very important element in reference work in any library, supple¬ 
menting the book collections in several important ways. They are especially useful for 
the following purposes: 

3. For subjects where it is of first importance to have the latest information available 
in print, periodicals often furnish articles that are later than any book on the subject. 
This use of periodicals is of special importance in the sciences, in technology, and in 
political, economic, and industrial questions of current interest. 

2 . Periodicals often contain articles on subjects about which the library has no 
books, or even about which no books have yet been written. This is especially true 
in the case of small or obscure subjects, or subjects of purely local or temporary interest. 

3. Periodical articles are often very useful as showing contemporary opinion on any 
given event, subject, person, book, etc. Periodicals, newspapers, and contemporary 
memoirs are the three main sources for such information, and of these three sources, 
periodical files are the most easily used and most serviceable in the ordinary library. 

To make the best use of periodical literature and to answer the ordinary questions 
about periodicals, the reference worker needs three types of reference aids. These are: 

1. The index to periodicals, which furnishes a guide to the contents of files of 
periodicals, serving the same purpose for articles in periodicals that the library card 
catalog does for the books in the library. 

2. The bibliography or catalog of periodicals which is a list of the periodicals them¬ 
selves, not an index to their contents, and which furnishes information about the 
periodicals listed, their correct titles, history, character, editors, prices, publishers, etc. 

3. The union list of periodicals, which supplies information as to where sets of the 
periodicals included in the list may be found. Such lists are usually regional, i. e. for a 
given city, or larger area.

The pioneer index and, though no longer con¬ 
tinued, still a very important index to American 
and English periodicals, since it covers the longest 
period, 105 years, and indexes the large total of 
about 590,000 articles in 12,241 volumes of 470 
different American and English periodicals. A sub¬ 
ject index only, includes no author entries; auth¬ 
ors’ names appear frequently as entries, but only 
as subject entries for biographical or critical articles

about such authors. To make intelligent use of 
the index the student should remember the follow¬ 
ing points: (1) no author entries; (2) all articles 
having a distinct subject are entered under that sub¬ 
ject; (3) articles having no subject, i. e. fiction, 
poems, plays, are entered under the first word of 
the title not an article; (4) book reviews are en¬ 
tered in two different ways: (a) reviews of a book 
which has a definite subject are entered under sub¬ 
ject of the book; (b) reviews of a book which does 
not have a distinct subject, i. e. a novel, a work 
of poetry, a drama, are entered under the name 
of the author reviewed. Approximately complete for 
the periodicals covered, except in the following 
respects: (1) very brief articles, notes, etc. gener¬ 
ally omitted; (2) minor book reviews not included; 
(3) some English periodicals included in volume 1 
are incompletely indexed because of failure in col¬ 
laboration between the English and American in¬ 
dexers. Information given about each article in¬ 
cludes its title, author’s name in curves when it 
was known or could be ascertained, abbreviated title 
of periodical, volume and page reference. Neither 
inclusive paging nor date is given, but the date (year 
only) can be worked out from the “Chronological 
conspectus,” an ingenious table at the beginning of 
each volume. The list of periodicals indexed com¬ 
prises principally periodicals of a general nature 
but a few selected periodicals on special subjects are 
included. In general the work of both indexing 
and printing is very accurate and there are com¬ 
paratively few typographical errors. A list of errata 
has been published in the Bulletin of bibliography as 
follows—-2:24-25, 40-41, 56-58, 75-76, 133-134; 3:25: 
4:11-12, 72.

A condensation of Poole’s Index, including all 
references to 37 popular periodicals still published, 
to the end of 1899. Designed especially for the 
small library, but of value to all libraries, large 
or small, on account of its one alphabet and the 
fact that it gives references enough for all ordinary 
work. 

Annual literary index. 1892-1904. In¬ 
cluding periodicals, American and Eng¬ 
lish; essays, book-chapters, etc.; with 
author-index, bibliographies, necrology,

Ed. by W. I. Fletcher and R. R. Bowker. 

Continued 1905-10 by the Annual library index. 

Contents of each volume: (1) Subject index to 
periodicals; (2) Subject index to general literature; 

(3) Author index to (1) and (2); (4) Bibliographies; 
(5) Necrology; (6) Index to dates of principal 
events. 

A composite annual index containing among the 
six sections of the contents noted above four dis¬ 
tinct indexes: (1) a subject index which was an 
annual continuation of Poole, indexing the same 
periodicals in the same way and forming the basis 
for the five-yearly Poole supplements; (2) a sub¬ 
ject index to essays, which continued the .4i L. A. 
index; (3) a much needed author index, never in¬ 
corporated in Poole, and (6) an index to dates, 
which served practically as an index to newspapers. 
The Annual literary index has been in large measure 
superseded by the Poole supplements and the sec¬ 
ond edition and supplement of the A. L. A. index, 
but it is still useful for the author indexes, which 
furnish the only extended author key to the sets 
of Poole periodicals before 1900. Lists (4)-(6) 
are still occasionally useful. 

Annual library index. 1905-10. Includ¬ 
ing periodicals, American and English; 
essays, book-chapters, etc.; bibliographies, 
necrology, and index to dates of principal 
events and select lists of public libraries 
in the United States and Canada and of 
private collectors of books. N. Y. Pub¬

1906-09, W. I. Fletcher; 1910, W. I. Fletcher and 
others. 

Preceded by the Annual literary index (1892- 
1904). 

Contents of each volume: (1) Index of period¬ 
icals, author, title and subject in one alphabet; (2) 
Index to general literature; (3) Bibliographies; 

(4) Necrology; (5) Index to dates of principal 
events; (6) Selected list of public libraries in the 
U. S. and Canada; (7) Selected list of private col¬ 
lectors of books. 

Of the above contents (1) -(5) are found in all 
volumes, (6) in 1908-10 only, and (7) in 1910 
only. j i, .4 

As an index the Annual library index differed 
from its predecessor, the Annual literary index, 
principally in the fact that its index to periodicals 
contained authors, titles and subjects in one alpha¬ 
bet instead of two separate subject and author lists. 
Now partly superseded, although it must still be 
used for many author entries for 1905-06; for sub¬ 
ject entries it is now practically superseded by the 
cumulated volumes of the Readers’ guide and Read¬ 
ers’ guide supplement (see p. 7). The other lists 
are still useful.

1915-18; v. 5, 1919-21. 

A cumulative index, made up of three forms or 
sections: (1) permanent cumulated volumes, (2) 

annual volumes, to be used as supplements to the 
cumulated volumes until superseded by a new perma¬ 
nent volume, and (3) monthly issues, cumulating 
quarterly (i. e., March 3 months, June 6 months, 
' September 9 months, etc.) until the last or De¬ 
cember number forms a new annual volume. A 
complete set to date always consists of all permanent 
cumulated volumes, all annuals since the last 
cumulated, the latest quarterly cumulation of the 
current year and the current (latest monthly) num¬ 
ber. 

Started in 1901 as an index for the small library, 
covering at first only 15 of the more popular period¬ 
icals, and gradually extended until in 1903 it ab¬ 
sorbed the Cumulative index (see below) and in 
1911 took over the work of the Annual library 
index. The five permanent volumes contain 

about 820,000 entries of articles in 3,312 volumes of 
168 different periodicals, and the 1922 issue covers 
100 periodicals. A modern index of the best type. 
Its special features are: (1) full dictionary catalog¬ 
ing of all articles, i. e., their entry under author, 
subject, and title when necessary; (2) uniformity of 
entries, owing to the fact that the work is done by a 
few professional indexers rather than by many 
voluntary collaborators; (3) use of catalog subject 
headings instead of catchword subjects; (4) full 
information in the references, i. e., refers not only 
to volume and page, but also to exact date and 
inclusive paging, and indicates illustrations, portraits, 
etc.; (5) the cumulative features of the monthly 
issues, which keep the index well to date without 
multiplying alphabets to be consulted; (6) the index¬ 
ing of all book reviews, through 1904, under author 
reviewed; after 1905 reviews are generally omitted 
because included in the Book review digest; (7) the 
indexing, in the 2d and 3d cumulated volumes, of 
some 597 composite books, thus forming an un¬ 
official continuation of the A. L. A. index of general 
literature (see p. 25). This book indexing was 
abandoned after 1914 because the analytic work in 
• the Standard catalog now being prepared by the 
same firm will take its place.

v. 1, 1907-15; v. 2, 1916-19. 

Author and subject index, on the same plan as 
the Readers’ guide. First volume indexes 74 period¬ 
icals of which 55 are indexed for the period 1907-15, 
and 19 for the period 1913-15 only, as they were 
already indexed for previous years in the Readers’ 
guide. Indexes also some 55 composite books. In 
all about 89,000 articles are listed. 

Second volume indexes 126 periodicals, of which 
81 are indexed for the period 1916-19 in continua¬ 
tion, of the similar indexing in volume 1, and 45, 
principally foreign periodicals and society transac- 
ions, are indexed for varying periods between 1909- 
1919 in continuation of the index cards formerly 
issued by the A. L. A. Publishing Board. The 
indexing work for the A. L. A. serials is still done 
by the cooperating libraries, but entries are incor¬ 
porated in the Readers’ guide supplement and the 
issue on cards discontinued.

Published five times a year, March-January, 
cumulating (March 3 months, May 5 months, Sep¬ 
tember 4 months, November 6 months) the January 
number of each year forming the annual cumulation 
for the previous year. The 1921 annual indexes 
about 200 periodicals, of which 155 were indexed by 
the International index staff, and 45, former A. L. A. 
serials, were indexed by seven cooperating libraries 
under the editorship of W. S. Merrill, of the New¬ 
berry Library. Includes 74 foreign periodicals, in 
6 different languages.

Monthly, with quarterly and annual cumulations. 
No annual cumulations after 1898. Indexed 50

An index of subjects only, not of authors or 
titles, except that fiction when included is indexed 
under author’s name. Indexes all material with 
exact reference, giving abbreviated title of periodical, 
volume, date, inclusive paging and indication of 
illustrations, portraits, maps, and plans. Intended 
as a supplement to other indexes and so includes 
no periodicals indexed in either Poole, the Readers’ 
guide, or Annual library index. While the whole 
list of periodicals is general in character about half 
of the titles relate to history, especially local history, 
and the index specializes also in travel, mountaineer¬ 
ing, exploration, out-door life, and fine arts. Indexes 
all important articles in the periodicals covered but 
omits short or trivial articles, poetry, and most fic¬ 
tion, though continued stories and short stories by 
notable writers are included. Continued by the 
following:

Beginning with 1909, includes as pt. 2 the Dra¬ 
matic index for 1909-20. 

An annual supplement to the Magazine subject 
index, compiled on the same plan and specializing in 
the same subjects. In accordance with the plan of 
not indexing any periodicals covered by other gen¬ 
eral indexes, this index varies its list from year to 
year, dropping periodicals which have been taken 
over by other indexes and adding new titles. The 
annual volumes add many new local history titles, 
especially transactions of local history societies in¬ 
dexed in Griffin’s bibliography (see p. 32), and as 
these are in many cases indexed back to the date 
when Griffin stopped, the index constitutes an in¬ 
formal continuation of Griffin. Tire only exception 
to the rule not to index material included elsewhere 
is in the case of a few of these history periodicals 
which are left in for the sake of completeness in 
this specialty. Indexes more English periodicals 
than other American indexes; out of 166 periodicals 
indexed in 1920, 25 are English and 9 Canadian.

Title varies: v. 1, 1S91, The Annual index of 
periodicals & photographs for 1890; v. 2-4, Index 
to the periodical literature of the world. (Covering 
the year 1891-1893.) 

No more published. 

Primarily a subject index, but contains a fair 
number of author entries also, especially in the later 


volumes. Indexes material under rather broad sub¬ 
jects and gives for each, brief title, author’s name 
when known, periodical, volume, month, and page 
reference, and, in parentheses, a reference to the 
volume, month, and page of the Review of reviews 
where a summary or other notice of the article is to 
be found. Indicates maps and illustrations. Indexes 
novels, short stories and poems under authors’ 
names, not under title; as a special feature gives 
under such subjects as music, architecture, fiction, 
etc., a list of persons connected with those subjects 
who are noticed elsewhere in the index. The num¬ 
ber of periodicals indexed varies from 117 in 1890 
to 195 in 1902. Principally useful because it covers 
many English periodicals (about 100 in the later 
volumes) which are not indexed in Poole. Not 
needed in the small library.

sued at th£ request of the Council of the 
Library association. Lond. Library assoc.

An English index, started in 1915 under the title 
Athenaeum subject index, title changed, 1919, to 
Subject index. Issued, 1915-16, in two forms: 
(1) preliminary Class lists, each an alphabetical sub¬ 
ject index with brief author index to the subject 
part, and (2) Annual volume for each year, combin¬ 
ing in one alphabet the material of all the class lists. 
The annual for 1915 covered one year only and is 
superseded by the 1916 annual which is a cumulated 
volume, covering the two years 1915-16. 

This 1915-16 volume is an alphabetical subject 
index to 530 periodicals, including 36 in foreign 
languages. The subject list, which constitutes the 
main part, contains 29,000 entries, and gives for 
each article its title, sometimes a brief explanatory 
note, author, date, volume and inclusive paging. 
The author index, which refers to the subject part, 
contains 14,000 entries. Duplicates much of the 
material contained in the Readers’ guide and Read¬ 
ers’ guide supplement, but indexes also many period¬ 
icals not covered by the American indexes, espe¬ 
cially British local history periodicals, proceedings 
of antiquarian societies, etc. Continued for 1917-19

general works in English and all the principal for¬

probably be for the large amount of French and 
Italian material indexed. A subject list only, no

Sommaire des periodiques; 1899-1911, frequency 
varied, monthly (sometimes bimonthly or quarterly) 
with annual author index; 1912-13, semiannual with 
annual author and subject indexes. Each number is 
a classed subject index arranged by the Belgian 
Dewey D. C. numbers; indexes a large number of 
periodicals, gives fairly full information for each 
article, i. e. author, title, periodical volume and 
number. A cumbersome but usable index, not easy 
to handle for quick reference work but useful when 
the whole field is to be covered, as it supplies 
material not easily findable in any other way.

Not a regular general index, but a bimonthly list 
of the more important articles of general interest 
selected from about 1,000 French, Belgian and other 
foreign periodicals and newspapers. A subject list 
with no author index, no annual index, no cumula¬ 
tions. Gives only brief title of article, author, title 
and number or date of periodical in which found. 
Not satisfactory for quick reference work, but offers 
the only substitute for a general French index cov¬

A voluminous and comprehensive index valuable 
because of the large number of important German 
periodicals, transactions, yearbooks and other com¬ 
posite works indexed, but difficult to use for quick 
reference partly because of the abbreviation of refer¬ 
ences and compactness of printing, and partly be¬ 
cause the form of publication in semi-annual volumes 
with no cumulation necessitates the consultation of 
many alphabets. Except in the case of vols. 34-bo 
and 40-40a-41, which have a combined author in¬ 
dex, each volume consists of (1) a subject index 
arranged alphabetically by rather large subjects, 
giving for each article indexed its title, author’s 
name in curves when known, reference to periodical 
by key number instead of title, and volume and 
page reference; and (2) an author index to the 
subject index, the latter omitted for the time being 
in some recent volumes. The number of periodicals 
indexed is very large, ranging from 275 in the first 
volume to about 3,000 in later volumes. The period 
covered in the whole set is 42 years, for while vol. 1 
starts with 1896 the retrospective indexing of the Er- 
ganzungsbande carries the work back to 1879. Im¬ 
portant in university work and in large libraries 
which have many German periodicals, but not 
generally recommended for other libraries. Often 
especially important for biography because it indexes 
many yearbooks of learned societies containing 
obituary notices.

years. 

Not "a general index, but a subject catalog of 
some 71,198 biographical articles in the sets of 448 
periodicals (16,161 volumes) contained in the library 
of the Italian Chamber of Deputies. Each volume 
has (1) a main subject list which gives for each 
article indexed its title, author, and the title and 
volume or year of the periodical in which it is to be 
found, and (2) a brief author index referring to 
the subject list. The supplementary volumes index 
both the volumes added during the period covered 
and also earlier material omitted from the first 
volume. The “Indice generale” refers to all names 
included in the subject lists of the first volume and 
supplements 1-5. Sets indexed include the principal 
Italian periodicals and society transactions and also 
many important English, French, German and 
Spanish titles. In the American library tiie prin¬ 
cipal use of this catalog is for the Italian and French 
material indexed, but it is occasionally useful even 
for the American and English material already 
indexed in Poole, because it can be used from 
the author as well as the subject side, and there¬ 
fore serves to supplement Poole. Useful in the 
university or large reference library, but not rec¬ 
ommended for the small library.

subject. v. 1 (1908) indexes the topographical 

articles in 75 periodicals of varying dates from about 
the beginning of the 19th century to 1907; v. 2 
indexes the biographical articles in more than 700 
periodicals of the 19th and the first part of the 
20th century, giving not only references to period¬ 
icals, but also dates of birth and death and very brief 
characterization for each name indexed. The list 
of periodicals included in v. 2 furnishes a nearly 
complete bibliography of Norwegian periodicals. 
Very valuable in the large reference library or in the 
library specializing in Scandinavian material.

Detailed alphabetical subject index to about 125 
agricultural periodicals and to many reports, bul¬ 
letins and circulars of agricultural departments, ex¬ 
periment stations, etc. Most of the periodicals are 
in English, including American, British and colonial 
publications, but a few journals in foreign languages 
are also included. 

Continued by the following:

lating in March (2 months), April (3 months), 
June (2 months), July (6 months), Sept. (2 
months), Oct. (9 months), Nov. (2 months), Jan.

bound volume, furnishing the annual cumulation 
for the preceding year, except that every third 
year the annual volume is omitted and a three-year 
cumulation, constituting a new volume in the per¬ 
manent set, is issued instead. Indexes about 135 
agricultural and related periodicals and many bul¬ 
letins, and records new books and book reviews. A 
very useful index.

A record and digest of current agricultural litera¬ 
ture, not planned as an index of the subject but 
covering the field so fully that it serves practically 
as an index to the periodical, bulletin, and report 
material on this subject, in English and the princi¬ 
pal foreign languages. Each monthly number con¬ 
tains a digest of recent important articles and re¬ 
ports with exact reference to the full article. In 
addition to monthly numbers there are bimonthly 
abstract numbers, so that a semiannual volume con¬ 
sists of nine numbers. There are no cumulations 
of the digests, but there is an author and subject 
index to each volume referring to the monthly is¬ 
sues and for the volumes before 1911 these separate 
indexes are superseded by the two general indexes 
1889-1901 and 1901-11. Less easy to use for quick 
reference than the new Agricultural index, but fuller 
for scientific use as it indexes more scientific mate¬ 
rial and includes foreign language material as well 
as English.

A useful author index to some 94 sets of English 
archaeological periodicals and transactions of local 
antiquarian societies. Gives for each article indexed 
author’s name, full title, periodical, volume or 
date, and inclusive paging. Principally British ar¬ 
chaeology but includes also material on classical and 
other non-British antiquities. A subject index to- the 
same material, which was contemplated but not 
undertaken when the author index was made, is now 
in preparation. Continued by the following:

in 1891-1910. Lond. Constable, 1892-1914.* 
v. 1-20. 22 cm . Is. each. 016.913 

An annual continuation of Gomme’s index, index¬ 
ing the same type of material and following the 
same plan as far as the author index is concerned, 
but differing from the main work in that each an¬ 
nual volume has a subject index to the author list. 
While each volume nominally covers one year, 
many cover a longer period since whenever a new 
periodical is added to the list it is indexed back 
to 1891. 

Publication suspended after 1914. Most of the 
periodicals indexed are now included in the Subject 
index to periodicals, 1915-16, described p. 8.

Book reviews

Plains, N. Y. Wilson, 1905-22. v. 1-17. 
26 em . $12 per year. Annual cumulated vol. 

$5. 050 

A digest and index of selected book reviews in 
over 50 English and American periodicals, prin¬ 
cipally general in character. Arranged alphabetic- 
ally by author of book reviewed, with subject and 
title index. For each book entered gives author, 
title, place, publisher and price, a brief descriptive 
note, quotations from selected book reviews with 
exact reference to periodical in which review ap¬ 
peared, and references only, without quotation, to 
other reviews. Indicates length of review in num¬ 
ber of words and whether favorable or unfavorable. 
From the public library point of view and primarily 
useful in the selection of books for such a library; 
less useful in the college or university library partly 
because of the type of book listed and partly be¬ 
cause the reviews indexed are taken principally from 
the general and not to any great extent from the 
special journals. Monthly; with a semi-annual cu¬ 
mulation in August, and an annual cumulation of 
the main list in February which forms an annual 
volume; the subject, title and pseudonym index 
cumulates monthly, the index in a current number 
referring to all previous issues of the current vol¬ 
ume since the last cumulation. The 1921 annual 
has a cumulated index for the years 1917-21.

nology dept, of the Carnegie Library of 
Pittsburgh, 1917-21. Pittsburgh, Carnegie 
library, 1917-21. v. 1-5. 50 cts per yr. 016.6 

A quarterly index important as listing material 
much of which is not given in the Book review 
digest, and as a useful aid to book selection in a 
special field. Gives title of book and bibliographic 
data, references to periodicals containing reviews, 
and brief quotations.

1901-10 inclusive, one volume per year, indexing 
reviews of books printed in some 3,000 German 
periodicals; 1911- date, two volumes per year, the 
first volume of each year indexing reviews in Ger¬ 
man periodicals, the second volume indexing re¬ 
views in about 2,000 periodicals in other languages 
than German. A very comprehensive list, including 
more books of the university grade than the Book 
review digest and many references to special jour¬ 
nals, and therefore often more useful than the 
Book review digest in the university' library, when 
only references to reviews are wanted. Does not 


give digests or quotations from the reviews listed. 
The volumes which index reviews in German period¬ 
icals only cover the same list as the Bibliographie 
der deutschen zeitschriftenliteratur (see p. 10) and 
supplement that work; the volumes indexing non- 
German periodicals do the same thing for the Bibli¬ 
ographie der fremdsprachigen zeitschriftenliteratur 
(see p. 9). 

Drama 

Dramatic index for 1909-20, covering 
articles and illustrations concerning the 
stage and its players in the periodicals of 
America and England; with a record of 
books on the drama and of texts of plays. 
Post. Faxon, 1910-21* v. 1-12. 24 cm . $7.50 
per vol. Special price for set. 016.792 

Issued separately, and also as part 2 of the Annual 
magazine subject index, 1909-20. Contains the cu¬ 
mulation- of the Dramatic index published in the 
quarterly numbers of the Bulletin of bibliography. 

Issues for 1912-16, 1919-20 have appendix, Dra¬ 
matic books and plays (in English) published during 
1912-16, 1919-20. 

An annual subject index to all articles about the 
drama, the theater, actors and actresses, playrights, 
librettists, managers, etc., to all synopses of plays, 
and to all stage and dramatic portraits, scenes from 
plays and other theatrical illustrations contained in 
about 200 English and American periodicals, and to 
texts of plays whether published in book or maga¬ 
zine form. Magazine articles are entered under 
subject only, texts of plays are entered under title 
or under the form heading “dramas” with cross 
reference from author, costume portraits are entered 
under both the actor and the character. All refer¬ 
ences are exact, i. e. to title of periodical, volume, 
date, and inclusive paging, with length of article 
indicated in fractions if less than one page, and full 
indication of illustrations, portraits, etc. While the 
index nominally begins with 1909 there is some 
retrospective indexing, e. g. the 1910 volume indexes 
the Theatre back to its first volume 1906. From 
1912 the dramatic books of the year are indexed 
both in the main index and in the appendix, Dra¬ 
matic books and plays, which consists of (1) author 
list of books about the theater, (2) author list of 
play texts, (3) title list of texts. A very useful 
index, necessary in any library which makes much 
use of dramatic material. Kept to date by the 
quarterly indexes in the Bulletin of bibliography. 

History 

There is no one periodical index to the 
whole field of history but the following 
bibliographies described more fully in 
other parts of the Guide, offer usable sub¬ 
stitutes.

mainly 19th-20th century material, but a few sets 
included in the first volume belong on the ISth cen¬ 
tury. Indexes not only material on technical and 
historical law subjects, but a great deal of legal 
biography and a considerable amount of material on 
political, economic and sociological subjects. The 
second volume is stronger in this sociological mate¬ 
rial than the first. For all biographical articles in¬ 
cluded, dates of birth and death are given. The first 
volume indexes practically all articles in 158 legal 
periodicals (1373 volumes), all articles on law sub¬ 
jects in 113 general periodicals and the proceedings 
of various Bar associations. The third volume in¬ 
dexes 60 periodicals (512 v.) principally American 
and British, but including also some Canadian, 
Indian, Irish, Australian and South African publi¬

contains, as a third part, a “Table of cases com¬ 
mented on.” The first annual number indexes 39 
periodicals for 1908, the 13th indexes 65 American,

ber of words, and in addition a digest of each

The International military digest was issued in 
1915-16 in 3 forms (1) monthly (2) quarterly and

1916, the monthly was continued through 1918, and 
in 1919 discontinued as a separate publication and 
merged in National service, which continued as 
National service, with the International military 
digest, the digest list part being given as an alpha¬ 
betical list in each number. This ceased publication 
with December, 1921. 

Philosophy and psychology 

There is no cumulated index to period¬ 
ical articles on these subjects, but the field 
is fairly well covered year by year by the 
following annual bibliographies which not 
only list the new books in the field but 
also index periodicals extensively.

subject volume, which is arranged alphabetically, 
has a special feature not ordinarily found in in¬ 
dexes, i. e. each heading used is briefly defined and 
the definition is followed by a reference to some 
encyclopedia article for fuller explanation. Articles 
are arranged under each heading alphabetically by 
authors, and for each full reference is given, i. e. 
author, title, periodical, volume, date, and inclusive 
paging. The author volume indexes the same ar¬ 
ticles as the subject volume, with equally full in¬ 
formation, so either volume may be used inde¬ 
pendently. Important in the theological university 
and large reference libraries; not needed in small 
libraries.

index for the whole of the 19th century to 1,555 
periodicals and transactions in various languages 
including the transactions of the great European 
academies and other learned societies. Full infor¬

A subject index to the same material as the above 
author catalog, classified according to the schedules 
of the International catalogue of scientific literature 
and to be published as separate Index-volumes for 
each of the seventeen sciences of the schedules of 
the International catalogue, viz. Mathematics, Me¬ 
chanics, Physics, Chemistry, Astronomy, Meteorol¬ 
ogy, Mineralogy, Geology, Geography, Palaeontology, 
Biology, Botany, Zoology, Anatomy, Anthropology, 
Physiology, and Bacteriology. Of the seventeen in¬ 
dexes projected only the first three have been issued 
so far. These index 116,687 articles from 1,555 
periodicals divided as follows: Mathematics, 38,748 
articles from 700 serials; Mechanics, 21,295 articles 


from 959 serials; Physics, 56,644 articles from 1,261 
serials. The subject index gives sufficiently full in¬ 
formation to be used independently of the author 
volumes, i. e. author’s name, brief title, periodical, 
volume date and paging—though for full title refer¬ 
ence must be made to the author’s index. 

When finished the index will constitute a monu¬ 
mental record of the material on these seventeen 
sciences to be found in all the principal scientific 
periodicals, in different languages, of the 19th cen¬ 
tury. Continued for material since 1900 by the 
International catalogue of scientific literature.

Indexes a large number of important scientific jour¬ 
nals, but is not very satisfactory for up-to-date 
reference work because of the delay in publication.

world in Sept., 1918, when its title became Business 
digest and investment weekly. In Oct., 1920,

(2) bimonthly cumulations, cumulating throughout 
the year, the last issue, October, indexing the 
material of 12 months and forming (3) the perma¬ 
nent annual volume. 

A combination of a subject index to the current 
literature in its field—books, documents, pamphlets, 
articles in periodicals, multigraphed material, etc.— 
and a digest of recent events and developments in 
the fields of sociology, political science and eco¬ 
nomics, particularly the practical sides of these 
subjects. Includes, among its reports of events, 
record of new legislation, notices of approaching 
conferences, meetings, etc., establishment of new 
offices, libraries, etc. A very useful index, al¬ 
though it duplicates some of the material in the 
general indexes. The 1921 cumulation indexes 
articles in some 550 periodicals and refers to analyt¬ 
ical material in about 250 other publications.

and v. 4, 1901-1905, ed. by H. II. Suplee and T. H.

An alphabetical subject index, with no author 
index, to about 250 technical and engineering period¬ 
icals in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish 
and Dutch; about three quarters of the periodicals 
indexed are in English. Gives fairly full informa¬ 
tion, i. e. title, author, brief digest or description of 
the article, length in number of words, periodical 
and exact date. Does not give volume or page. 
Continued after 1905 by the following:

Title varies, publisher varies; title, 1919-, Engi¬ 
neering index. 

Continues the Engineering index 1884-1905, v. 
1—4, covering the same field in the same detail, but 
(for the years 1906-18) with a different arrangement 
t. e. a classed subject index, not an alphabetical 
subject index, grouped in 8 large classes, Civil 
engineering, Electrical engineering, Industrial econ¬ 


omy, Marine and naval engineering, Mechanical 
engineering, Mining and metallurgy, Railway en¬ 
gineering, Street and electric railways. 

Beginning 1919, the form is changed to an alpha¬ 
betical subject index, indexing some 700 periodicals, 
including many foreign titles, and giving for each 
article exact reference to title, date, volume and 
page of the periodical, number of illustrations and 
a brief digest. Continued for current work by the 
following: 

Engineering index [monthly] in Mechan¬ 
ical engineering, the monthly journal pub¬ 
lished by the Amer. soc. of mechanical 
engineers. Easton, Pa. 1922. $4 per yr. 

Monthly index based upon a review of 1200 
technical publications received by the United En¬ 
gineering societies library, New York. At the end 
of each year the 12 monthly numbers are combined, 
with the addition of items on civil, electrical and 
mining engineering, etc., to form the annual index 
described above. 

Industrial arts index: subject index to 
a selected list of engineering and trade 
periodicals. 1913-21. N. Y. Wilson, 1913- 
22. v. 1-9. 26 cm . 016.6 

Subscription price on service basis, according to 
number of periodicals taken. Apply to publishers. 

Bimonthly index, cumulating throughout the year, 
with the December number forming an annual cumu¬ 
lation. Beginning with v. 7, a two-year cumulation 
is issued every other year. Indexes many of the 
same periodicals as the Engineering index (annual) 
but differs from that index in having (1) a rather 
wider range of subjects, including commercial and 
business as well as technological subjects, (2) less 
foreign material. More useful than the Engineering 
index in the general library. In general follows 
the same plan of indexing as the Readers’ guide 
except that articles are indexed only under subjects 
and not under authors also. Indexes principally 
material in English, but from 1919 on includes some 
foreign journals. 

Crane, Walter Richard. Index of min¬ 
ing engineering literature, comprising an 
index of mining, metallurgical, civil, me¬

$5; v. 2, $4. 016.6 

Covers American and English material with some 
Australian and Canadian works, including period¬ 
icals, society transactions and some government re¬ 
ports. Vol. 1 indexes 18 publications covering 30 
years to the end of 1907; vol. 2 brings to date the 
periodicals indexed in that volume and indexes sev¬ 
eral additional titles, giving complete indexing for 
26 periodicals and incomplete indexing for 20 other 
serials and 20 books. Classified arrangement with 
alphabetical index. A special feature is the section 
of references on cost.

A subject index to more than 400 periodicals in

German subject word followed, in volumes from 1892 
on, by the French and English equivalents. Each 
volume has a detailed subject index to this subject 
list which, in volumes before 1892 is an index ot 
German words only, but from 1892 includes French 
and English words in the same alphabet; volumes 
from 1897 on have an author index also. Not now

with an index of titles. Gives brief information 
about each title, i. e. title, dates, place, note of

the most important of all the general lists because 
of (1) the great number of periodicals included and 
(2) the convenient double arrangement.

The standard American list; comprehensive, list¬

not claiming completeness, as it intentionally omits 
certain classes of papers, e. g. publications of pri¬

church papers and most house organs issued merely 
to exploit goods of their firms. The main list, no.

descriptive and statistical matter about each state, 
a list of its counties, marking those which have no 
newspapers, and considerable gazetteer information 
about each city, i. e. its distance and direction from 
some important place, its railroads, water or stage 
communications, note of banks or of nearest banking 
places, etc., leading manufactures, products and in¬ 
stitutions and (2) detailed information about each

arranged chronologically 1620-1919; separate list, 
periodicals in Armenian, Hebrew, Yiddish, Russian 
and Turkish; title index to section I; Sect. II: The 
provincial press, arranged chronologically by date of 
first known issue, 1701-1919; alphabetical index to 
sect. II. 

A chronological bibliography of English periodicals 
from 1620-1919, which attempts to include all types 
of periodicals except (1) official periodicals issued 
during the war, (2) annuals and yearbooks, (3) 
publications of societies classed as Academies in 
the British Museum, and (4) local church periodi¬ 
cals, and, while avowedly incomplete for the difficult 
period of the 18th century, claims to be nearly ex¬ 
haustive for the 17th and 19th centuries. Is based 
upon the collections of the British museum, includ¬ 
ing the two special Thomason and Burney collec¬ 
tions, with some reference to copies and numbers in 
other libraries not found in the British Museum. 
Each title is listed under the date of the earliest 
copy which has been found for examination, and the 
information given for it includes number and date 
of the earliest issue, date of discontinuance, if 
known, and in some cases name of printer, editor, 
distributor, and a reference to the library or collec¬ 
tion if it is other than the British Museum’s general 
collection. 

Useful as a means of identifying titles, and as 
showing, by its chronological arrangement, what 
periodicals are available for a given date.

journals and the French press but also a consider 
able amount of the statistical, gazetteer, political ant

formation, and for subject lists. Volumes issued 
before 1914 contain somewhat fuller information than 
the 1921 volume. Includes only Paris publications; 
for provincial periodicals the Annuaire de la presse

UNION LISTS 

A union list of periodicals is a catalog, 
usually in alphabetical title arrangement, 
of the periodicals to be found in the li¬ 
braries in a special region, with indication 
of the libraries containing any given title. 
There are two types of such lists, (1) lists 
of periodicals currently received (2) lists 
of sets, with exact indication of what por¬ 
tion of each set is in the libraries listed. 
The second type is more useful. Such 
lists are of great reference importance 
since they often show where a library can 
find a periodical or volume not in its own 
collections. The principal use of such 
lists is for reference and inter-library loan 
purposes but they are often useful also as 
catalogers’ aids. Foreign union lists are 
naturally not useful for inter-library loans, 
but are often very helpful in identifying 
foreign titles.

NEWSPAPERS 

Newspapers are often very important 
in certain lines of reference work. Cur¬ 
rent issues are helpful for reference work 


on questions of the day, current history, 
politics, local happenings, current or local 
opinion, etc. and back volumes serve the 
same purpose for the current history, etc., 
of an earlier period, and are particularly 
important as contemporary records, as 
registers of contemporary opinion and as 
records of facts often too small or too 
local in their application to be included 
in the general reference books. Bound 
files of newspapers are therefore import¬ 
ant additions to the reference equipment 
of any library which can afford and use 
them. As such files are very expensive to 
bind and shelve, care should be taken to 
choose for preservation only those actually 
needed, and especially those which, from 
their general character, indexes, etc. are 
most likely to be useful. To make intel¬ 
ligent use of newspapers the reference 
worker needs the same type of reference 
aids that he needs for periodicals, i. e., (1) 
indexes, (2) bibliographies and (3) lists of 
other libraries. These differ however in 
some ways from the corresponding aids 
for periodicals. There is, for example, no 
general index to newspapers similar to 
Poole. Such a work would be a practical 
impossibility, and moreover is not needed 
in just the same way as an index to period¬ 
icals. Newspapers all publish reports of 
any event of general interest, at approx¬ 
imately the same time, generally one day 
after it occurred, and the substance of 
such information is largely the same in 
all important papers. The date of any 
event is the clue needed and an index of 
dates, or an index to any one newspaper 
will furnish a workable index to all news¬ 
papers for subjects of general interest. 
This, of course, is not true of purely local 
or special articles.

NEWSPAPERS 


While this index does not refer directly to news¬ 
papers the fact that it gives the dates of all events 
listed makes it serviceable as an index to all news¬ 
papers as far as general news is concerned. It can¬ 
not of course be used as an index for loral news 
not of general interest or for special articles or edi¬ 
torials. For a similar index before 1911 see the 
Index to dates included as part of the Annual liter¬ 
ary index 1892-1904 and the Annual library index 
1905-1910. Discontinued after 1914 and succeeded

“A.L.A.” index; an index to general 
literature. 2d ed. enl. and brought down 
to Jan. 1, 1900. Bost. [A.L.A publishing 
board] 1901. 679 p. 27 cm . $6. 040 

— Supplement 1900-1910. Chic. A.L.A. 

publishing board, 1914. 223 p. 27 cm . $4. 

A subject index which attempts to do for books 
of essays and general literature what Poole’s index 
does for periodicals. 

“The general purpose was to index as far as 
possible all books common to our libraries which 
treat several subjects under one title and to the 
contents of which the ordinary catalogue furnishes 
no guide, although they are generally treated an¬ 
alytically in the more elaborate catalogues, and to 
save libraries in the future from the necessity of 
repeating each for itself the analytical work.”— 
Preface. 

The second edition indexes books belonging to 
the following classes: (1) Essays and similar col¬ 
lections of critical biographical and other mono¬ 
graphs; (2) Books of travel and general history 
whose chapters or parts are worthy of separate ref¬ 
erence; (3) Reports and publications of boards and 
associations dealing with sociological matters, and

DEBATES 


publications of historical and literary societies; (4) 
Many miscellaneous books and some public docu¬ 
ments. 

Includes only books in English and books found 
in most libraries. Indexing is by catchword sub¬ 
jects, not catalog subjects. The second edition 
was supplemented by the annual Index to general 
literature, included in the Annual literary (library) 
index 1900-1910. These annual supplements are 
now superseded by the Supplement 1900-10 which 
cumulates all the material for the annual lists and 
adds references from 125 new books not previously 
indexed, adding a total of over 500 books to the 
several thousand covered by the main work. An 
informal supplement is found in the 2d and 3d 
five-yearly volumes of the Readers’ guide, 1905-14, 
which index the contents of some 597 composite 
books, in addition to the regular indexing of period¬ 
icals (see p. 7).

“The chief aim of the work is not to give every¬ 
thing which appears in a select number of works 
on a few selected subjects, but rather to cover as 
many subjects as possible, and give a few references 
to each one.”— Preface. 

The indexes described above cover a 
considerable portion of the composite 
books in English most commonly found 
in medium-sized libraries but omit many 
older and less common works which are 
quite as valuable though found in fewer 
libraries. Analytic subject references to 
the contents of many such books and also 
analytic author and title references to im¬ 
portant collections, both English and for¬ 
eign may be found in printed catalogs of 
certain libraries, such as the Peabody in¬ 
stitute, the Boston Athenaeum, the Lon¬ 
don library, etc. For full description of 
these catalogs see under Library catalogs, 
p. 229. 

The index volume to Brewer’s World’s 
best essays (see under Literature, p. 121) 
is often useful for material not covered 
by the A.L.A. index.

New ed. in preparation. 

A useful handbook, when briefs only are wanted, 
containing briefs for the affirmative and negative, 
but no bibliographies, for some 164 questions of 
current interest. Briefs are written by an English 
lawyer, and pros and cons of the same question are 
arranged in parallel columns for ease of comparison. 
Written from the English point of view, so some of 
the topics included are of less interest outside of 
the United Kingdom.

DISSERTATIONS 

Catalogs or bibliographies of disserta¬ 
tions are extremely important reference 
tools in certain types of libraries, al¬ 
though almost negligible in other types. 
Dissertations or theses presented by can¬ 
didates for the doctorate form a very spe¬ 
cial class of publications. As such degrees 
are given only for original work, each 
thesis must deal with some phase of a 
subject which has not been previously 
covered by a printed work. Each thesis 
therefore at the date of its publication is 
usually the only thing in print on that 
particular phase of its subject and its 
value to the reader interested in that sub¬ 
ject is obvious. While some disserta¬ 
tions are issued by regular publishers and 
so appear in the ordinary trade bibliog¬ 
raphies, most are privately printed and 
are listed only in the special bibliographies 
of dissertations. These bibliographies 
have therefore a distinct value in libraries 
which make much use of thesis material, 
i. e., the large reference, special, and uni¬ 
versity libraries, and serve the following 
purposes: (1) to show the student who 
is trying to select a thesis subject whether 


that subject has already been written on; 
(2) to show the order department whether 
a publication not listed in the ordinary 
trade lists is a dissertation and if so from 
what university it can be obtained; (3) to 
show the reference worker what material 
has been printed on very special or un¬ 
usual subjects.

on only one side, for clipping. Of great value in 
the university library, as the French theses are 
among the most important published. 

There is no official list for the period 
before 1884, so for that period the fol¬ 
lowing partial lists must be used:

List of 2,182 theses, arranged alphabetically by 
authors’ names. Gives for each thesis author’s 
name, title of thesis, place, publisher, date, paging, 
university, and a statement as to whether the 
thesis was published also in any other form. Marks 
rejected theses.

This list, with its annual continuations, includes 
practically the same theses as Maire’s Repertoire 
but arranges them by years and universities instead 
of alphabetically, and gives in addition to title and 
paging a full table of contents of each thesis. Gives 
very brief biographical data. Special value is for 
the full analysis of contents. Indexes: (1) subjects; 
(2) authors.

SOCIETY PUBLICATIONS 


The serial publications issued by learned societies serve somewhat the same kind of 
reference use as do the more general periodicals, i. e., they supplement the book col¬ 
lections of the library by furnishing articles more up to date, or more authoritative 
and special, than the book literature of the subject in question. Papers printed in 
academy and society transactions are usually based directly upon original research 
and are scholarly and scientific in character, and are therefore more valuable than 
articles in the more general periodicals. For this same reason, as they appeal to a 
more limited public, they are less often indexed in the general indexes of periodicals, 
although generally indexed in the special bibliographies and indexes. To use society 
transactions intelligently the reference worker needs the same kind of aids needed 
in work with periodicals, i. e., indexes, bibliographies, and union lists or catalogues. 
For indexes use the indexes to periodicals, particularly the special indexes, described in 
the preceding chapter. The union lists of periodicals include many society transactions 
as well. For bibliographies, however, a special set of publications is available. Both 
the reference worker and the cataloger frequently need to look up information about 
the history, organization, officers, publications, addresses, etc., of the various learned 
societies, and for such purposes the following bibliographies, yearbooks and handbooks 
are useful. Certain of these, e. g., Griffin, Terry, etc., are so arranged that they serve 
also as indexes to the publications covered.

The two volumes contain a good deal of informa¬ 
tion about international commissions, conventions, 
societies, etc., which is not easily findable elsewhere. 
Difficult to use quickly, however, because of the lack 
of a subject index.

and agriculture, patriotic societies, local bar asso¬ 
ciations and teachers’ organizations, and leagues for 
civic improvement or charitable purposes. Astronom¬

cluded only when forming departments of univer¬ 
sities, colleges, etc.” 

Gives name, address, history, object, meetings, 
membership, serial and special publications, distribu¬ 
tion of publications, research funds and prizes. Ar¬ 
ranged: (1) United States national societies; (2) 
local societies and institutions alphabetically by 
cities with the exception of state societies and insti¬ 
tutions and historical societies of counties, smaller 
cities and towns which are entered under their re¬

about the societies included and as an index to the 
contents of their publications. Arranged: (1) na¬ 
tional organizations, (2) local societies. For each 
society gives brief information about its history and 
a full list of its publications, with detailed contents 
of each composite volume. Full author, subject and 
society indexes. The subject index makes the work 
usable as an index to articles in the serial publica¬ 
tions of the societies listed.

Contents, 1921: (1) General societies; (2) Sub¬ 

ject groups, e. g. Astronomy, Chemistry, Geography,

A very useful list, giving for each society au¬ 
thoritative information as to its corporate name, ad¬ 
dress, date of founding, object, officers, meetings, 
membership, titles of publications with prices, and 
contents of publications for the year covered. The 
first volume 1884 was a basic volume, containing 
considerable historical information not reprinted in 
later issues. For full information, therefore, both 
the first and latest volume should be consulted.

A useful though not complete work, on the same 
general plan as Griffin’s Bibliography of American 
historical societies (see above). 

Contents: (1) Catalogue of the publications of 
over 50 Scottish historical and kindred clubs and 
societies, arranged alphabetically by name of society, 
giving for each society its corporate name, date of 
founding, purpose, list of its publications, and con¬ 
tents of each volume if several papers are included; 
C2) author and subject index to the publications and 
contents notes. The index is quite full and is often 
useful for analytic references on small or out-of- 
the-way points in Scotch history.

Issued in parts, 1885-1918. 

Vol. 1-4 cover the literature published to the 
year 1885; v. 5-6, 1886-1900. 

A monumental undertaking, the most important 
work on French societies. Arranged alphabetically 
first by departements, then by towns and under each 
town by the name of the society. For each society 
gives brief history, note of all changes of name, 
suspensions, mergers, etc., full titles, dates, etc., of 
all of its publications and full contents of each 
volume. An index of societies (also arranged by 
departements ) at the end of v. 6 links together 
references to the same society in the main part 
and the supplement. Not limited to societies in 
France but includes also those in the French col¬ 
onies and French societies abroad. Most useful at 
present for the historical matter about the societies 
and for the titles and collation and contents of the 
sets of their publications, but can not be used 
rapidly for the analytical material. An alphabetical 
author and subject index has been projected and if 
this is ever published the work will become enor¬ 
mously useful as an index to the periodicals and 
society literature of French history and related 
topics. Continued on the same plan and scale by 
the following:

An annual continuation of the above, on the

should be noted: v. 3, no. 3 1909-10 has general 
index of societies (but not of analytics) in vols. 
1-3, pts. 1-9. v. 3, no. 1, 1901-02, has both an 
author and a subject index to the analytical material 
in that issue; this index not continued in other is¬ 
sues, however.

ENCYCLOPEDIAS 


A good encyclopedia or collection of encyclopedias forms the backbone of a great 
part of the reference work in any library. Such books should be selected with great 
care and used intelligently with full understanding on the part of the reference assistants 
of the relative merits and defects of the different works. The making of an authoritative 
up-to-date encyclopedia is a very expensive undertaking, calling for heavy outlay for 
experienced writers, good editorial oversight, and careful and accurate printing and 
proofreading. Such work can not be done cheaply and reputable publishers recognize 
this fact and spend what is necessary to produce an authoritative, well-edited work. As 
the immediate profits from cheap work are much larger, however, and as the ordinary 
buyer often does not discriminate between good and poor encyclopedias, unscrupulous 
publishers will sometimes utilize cheap hack writers or reprint with only slight changes, 
old, out-of-date material and thus produce encyclopedias which are only made to sell, 
and which from the point of view of any real authority are nearly worthless though per¬ 
haps costing the library almost as much as the really good works. An encyclopedia 
should never be purchased without a full knowledge of its character and rigid examina¬ 
tion of the book itself. If the librarian does not have the requisite knowledge, purchase 
should be deferred until the book has been examined and reviewed by an expert, other¬ 
wise library money may be wasted. If the library can possibly afford the initial outlay, 
a good expensive encyclopedia may be the cheapest in the long run, but if this cannot 
possibly be afforded, it is better to buy a second-hand copj r of the next to the last edition 
of a thoroughly good work than to buy a cheap new encyclopedia, of the hack-work or 
commercial type. An encyclopedia that was once good is never entirely superseded, and 
this fact should be taken into account if the publisher of a new work or new edition offers 
to allow a discount on the new edition for the return of the old. The small library may 
be justified in giving up its old edition, but the large library which does much reference 
work should keep one copy of such older works, which will often be useful. Older 
encyclopedias are helpful: (1) in supplying information as to the condition or view of a 
given subject, art, or science at the date when the book was compiled, and (2) in sup¬ 
plying minor biographical and other articles omitted from the later edition to make 
space for other material. 

The three cardinal points which decide the standing of an encyclopedia are: (1) its 
authority (including the qualities of accuracy, up-to-dateness and completeness), (2) 
satisfactory mechanical arrangement, which should be such that information actually 
included in the work can be found easily, (3) the extent to which the encyclopedia sends 
the reader on to other sources of information, i. e., its bibliographies. In examining an 
encyclopedia to determine its standing on these three points, note the following: (1) 
publisher—is he well known, and reputable, or entirely unknown; (2) date, not of pub¬ 
lication but of copyright; (3) editor—is he capable and has he really edited the book or 
only allowed the use of his name; (4) general appearance of the book, is it cheap and 
indicative of hasty and inaccurate work or are both paper and typography good; (5) 
preface—read publisher’s or editor’s own statement and try to check up his claims by his 
accomplishment; (7) authority—are the articles by specialists and signed; (8) are the 
articles full and adequate, or too brief; (9) bibliographies, are these always given, and 
in such form as to be usable; (10) arrangement of the work, is it clear, easily used are 
there enough cross references; if arranged by large subjects, or not alphabetically, is 
there an alphabetical index of small subjects; (11) quality of illustrations.

Encyclopedia Americana; a library of

30 v. front., illus., plates (part col., part 
double) ports., maps (part double) double 
plans, facsims. 26 cra . $180. 031 

1st ed. 1903-04, 16 v., unpaged; several partial 
revisions, especially an edition in 22 volumes, publ. 
1912 under the title The Americana, which in¬ 
cluded some new articles and changes in other 
articles. The 1918-20 edition is a complete revision, 
reset throughout with much new material. The 
1922 printing of this edition shows some changes. 

A good up-to-date general encyclopedia covering 
much the same ground as the New International 
(see below), omitting some names and subjects 
treated in that work, but including others omitted 
in the New International, especially very recent 
names and subjects in the fields of science and 
technology in which fields the Americana is often 
somewhat stronger. Important articles are by spe¬ 
cialists, are signed and in general are excellent, 
although the bibliographies are sometimes uneven 
and not always adequate. Illustrations are numerous 
and good, pronunciation is marked and there are 
numerous short articles on small subjects, including 
many biographies of people still living. Special 
features include the long account of the European 
war, about 450 pages, given under the heading 
War, and the accounts of the history, developments, 
special features, etc., of the different centuries given 
alphabetically under the name of the century, e. g. 
Thirteenth, Fifteenth, etc.

Articles are much briefer than those in either 
the New international or the Americana, and there is 
much less bibliography. The special feature upon 
which most stress is laid is the loose-leaf form of the 
work which enables the publisher to keep the work 
to date by the issue of new pages to be inserted in 
the place of, or in addition to, the original pages 
when changed information and new events make 
new articles necessary. A date at the bottom of 
each page shows when it was published, and the new 
pages are distributed twice a year.

Editors: Frank Moore Colby and Talcott Wil¬ 

liams. 

First edition 1902-04, in 17 vols. A later edition 


not entirely revised but with new material and 
new maps was published in 1907 in 20 vols. An¬ 
other partial revision in 1912 incorporated the pop¬ 
ulation figures of the United States census of 1910. 
The 2d edition, 1914-16, is thoroughly revised and 
reset and contains about 80,000 articles as against 
the 65,000 of the 1st edition. 

An encyclopedia of the best modern type, with 
adequate and authoritative articles, many good illus¬ 
trations, and excellent and very useful bibliographies. 
Important articles are by specialists, minor articles 
by a capable office staff. Articles are all unsigned, 
but there is at the beginning of each volume a list 
of the authors of the principal articles in that vol¬ 
ume. Many very small subjects, including even 
titles of famous works of literature, names of 
fictitious characters, etc., are given separate treat¬ 
ment, pronunciation is marked, and the system of 
cross references is good. There are many biograph¬ 
ical articles, about 20,000 in all, including articles 
on persons who have come into prominence during 
the European war and a considerable proportion of 
Latin-American biography. The numerous maps are 
of high grade, well to date and mounted on special 
“insets” in such a way that they can be removed 
and replaced by revised maps to be issued as need 
of change arises and supplied free to subscribers 
who purchased their sets before 1918. The strong¬ 
est feature of the encyclopedia, however, is its ex¬ 
cellent and usable bibliographies. A special bibli¬ 
ographical feature which is often very useful is 
the reference, in articles on foreign authors, to 
translations of their works as well as to the best 
editions in the original. On the whole, especially 
for purposes of ready reference the New inter¬ 
national is the most frequently useful of all encyclo¬ 
pedias in English, although for some English and 
European subjects and especially for cases where 
very full and scholarly treatment of a subject is 
called for the longer articles in the Britannica are 
to be preferred. A supplementary volume, un¬ 
numbered, contains courses of reading and study. 

In various bindings. For library use the ordi¬ 
nary paper edition bound in library buckram accord¬ 
ing to A. L. A. specifications is to be preferred. 

The 1922 issue is printed from the same plates, 
with some changes throughout and the addition of 
a new volume, v. 24, containing: (1) History of the 
War, a revision and extension, with index, of the 
War article formerly included in v. 23, (2) Popu¬ 
lation figures, United States 1920, and Great Britain 
1921, (3) Courses of reading, formerly included in 
the supplement. Changes made in v. 1-23 are of 
two main kinds: (a) changes in the plates, e.g. in¬ 
sertion of 1920 census figures, dates of death in 
biographies, references from the main alphabet to 
the War history in v. 24, etc., and (b) new pages 
added to bring to date some important articles. Not 
needed in the library which has the 1914-16 issue. 

For annual supplement see New international year 
book, under Annual encyclopedias, p. 36. 

The encyclopedias noted above repre¬ 
sent the most used American works of re¬ 
cent or comparatively recent date. An

ENCYCLOPEDIAS 


older work which was once an excellent 
authority, though now superseded for all 
except occasional uses, is the American 
cyclopaedia, ed. by George Ripley and C. A. 
Dana (N. Y. Appleton, 1873-1883. 16 v.). 
An annual supplement to this, entitled Ap¬ 
pleton’s annual cyclopaedia is still useful. 
For description see under Annual encyclo¬ 
pedias, p. 36. Another good work, much 
used in its day but now out of date, is 
Johnson’s universal cyclopaedia, especially 
the edition by Charles Kendall Adams (N. 
Y., Johnson, 1893-95, 8 v.) and the enlarge¬ 
ment of that edition issued under the title 
Universal cyclopaedia (N. Y., Appleton, 
1900, etc., 12 v.). 

The large standard encyclopedias are to 
be preferred for most purposes, but some 
of the many smaller works are occasion¬ 
ally needed, either as substitutes when the 
large works cannot be afforded, or in addi¬ 
tion to the latter for briefer articles or for 
occasional facts not found in the larger 
encyclopedias.

Originally published as an annual supplement to 
the American cyclopaedia. Of little use now as a 
supplement, but still very useful as an independent 
publication, especially for the following: (1) for 
record of the events of a given year, especially the 
political, governmental, economic and military events, 
which are given with greater detail in this year by 
year record than in later general accounts; volumes 
covering the Civil War and Reconstruction periods 
are especially useful to students of American his¬ 
tory; (2) for many comparatively minor articles, 
particularly obituaries and biographies, which are 
either omitted from later encyclopedias or given 
briefer treatment than in the annual volume for the 
year when the person was of especial interest.

Covers much the same ground as last five volumes 
of Appletons’ annual cyclopaedia, but includes some 
different material and presents it in a different 
arrangement, i. e. one straight alphabet. The last 
volume contains a general index to the set.

Planned as a supplement to the New international 
encyclopaedia, volumes 1907-13 supplementing the 
first edition, volumes 1914-, the second edition. 
The volume for 1907 contains, in addition to the 
record for that year, brief summaries of the events 
of 1903-06. An excellent annual encyclopedia, com¬ 
piled and arranged on the same plan as the New 
international encyclopaedia and useful both as a sup¬ 
plement to that work and as an annual record of 
the progress and events in any subject. Especially 
useful for biography.

v. 1-28, A-Z; v. 29, Index. 

The most famous encyclopedia in English and 
for some purposes the best. The first edition was 


BRITISH 


37 


published in 1771 and the ninth edition (the last 
complete revision before the present eleventh edi¬ 
tion) in 1875-88; the tenth edition, published 1902-03 
was not a revision of the whole work but merely a 
10 volume supplement to the 9th edition issued to 
bring that edition more nearly to date and linked to 
it by a general index, vol. 35, The old Britannica 
type, which persisted through the 9th edition, called 
for a collection of important monographs on large 
subjects, by specialists, often very scholarly and 
important, with good bibliographies, good illustra¬ 
tions, but with no separate treatment of small sub¬ 
jects and no biographical sketches of living persons. 
Small subjects were treated only as parts of larger 
subjects and could be found only through the index. 
This plan was modified somewhat in the supplemen¬ 
tary 10th edition and still more, to meet modern 
demands, in the 11th edition. 

The 11th is based upon the 9th and 10th editions 
but revised throughout, rearranged and with much 
new material added. The features to be noted are: 
(1) long signed articles by specialists with (2) ex¬ 
cellent bibliography appended to most articles; (3) 
many excellent illustrations, both in the text and in 
black and white plates and some colored plates; 
(4) inclusion of many smaller subjects not sep¬ 
arately treated in earlier editions and (5) inclusion 
of biographical articles on persons still living; (6) 
very detailed index of small subjects; (7) almost 
equal up-to-dateness of all parts of the alphabet due 
to a nearly simultaneous completion and publication. 
Pronunciation is not marked. In general the articles 
are excellent but a few show insufficient revision of 
earlier material especially in the bibliographies. A 
point which makes for inaccuracy in quick refer¬ 
ence work, unless the reference worker uses the 
index constantly, is the omission of all “see refer¬ 
ences” from the body of the book and their inclusion 
in the index only, although “see also” references 
are given at the ends of articles. There are some 
minor differences between the English and American 
edition, e. g. the English edition has clearer im¬ 
pression of most of the illustrations, especially the 
plates, and American edition gives for American 
cities the population statistics of the 1910 census 
instead of the figures of the 1900 census given in 
the English edition. Issued in two forms, on ordi¬ 
nary paper and on India paper, the latter not rec¬ 
ommended for libraries on account of its tendency 
to cling and fold. The ordinary paper edition was 
issued in cloth and in three special library bindings: 
(1) buckram, A. L. A. specifications (2) half 
morocco, Lib. assoc. [Eng.] specifications (3) half 
morocco special Chivers binding, this latter for 
English edition only, and now out of print. 

A “handy volume edition” was published in 
1915-16 and was sold by Sears, Roebuck and co., 
Chicago. This edition is an exact photographic 
reproduction, reduced one-third in size, of the 
standard edition described above, and the text is 
not revised or altered in any way. Ihe type is 
small but very clear, and is usable. The illustrations 
in the text are reduced in proportion and lose 
somewhat in the process but the maps and plates 


are not reduced at all, as it was found possible, by 
folding the maps and dividing the illustrations which 
were formerly grouped on one plate, to keep these 
illustrations of the same size as in the original 
edition. This reduced edition is planned for the 
private purchaser and is not recommended for a 
library which can afford to purchase the work in its 
original form, but to the small library with a book 
fund which does not admit the purchase of the 
original edition this reproduction offers a fairly 
satisfactory substitute. It is published in several 
bindings and on both India paper and ordinary 
paper but for library purposes the ordinary paper 
edition is to be preferred. This ed. now sold by the 
Encyclopaedia Britannica Co. at $71.25, cloth.

A supplement to the above, bringing the 11th ed. 
to date and covering new subjects and events since 
1909, especially the European War and post war 
developments. Contains two types of articles, i. e. 
new articles on subjects and persons not treated in 
the 11th ed., and continuation articles which give vol¬ 
ume and page reference to the original article in that 
edition and then continue it for later information 
and events. Includes a large amount of biography. 
A variation in plan from the 11th ed. is the inclusion 
of the “see references” in the main alphabet. Pre¬ 
pared under the same editorial direction as the 11th 
ed., with a special editor for American subjects, and 
a list of contributors which, while largely English 
and American, contains also writers from the princi¬ 
pal European countries. The index at the end of 
v. 32 covers only the new volumes; for articles in 
the 11th ed. the special index vol., v. 29, must still 
be used.

A good small encyclopedia for the private library 
or small library which cannot afford a larger work. 
The articles are concise and generally accurate, 
although American subjects are treated somewhat 
less adequately than English. Bibliographies often 
omitted but when given are generally good. Few 
illustrations. A good work for the price but not a 
substitute for one of the larger standard encyclo¬ 
pedias.

The most important French encyclopedia and one 
of the best encyclopedias in any language. Has 
authoritative signed articles, excellent bibliographies, 
many entries under small subjects. Somewhat out 
of date now for sciences, etc., in which there have 
been recent developments, but an excellent authority 
for other subjects, especially for mediaeval and 
renaissance subjects, and for literature, history, 
biography, etc., of continental Europe. Very good 
for French and other continental biography. The 
bibliographies are especially important. Has fewer 
illustrations and plates than recent English or 
American encyclopedias, but what there are, are 
good.

v. 1-15, A-Z; v. 16, suppl. A-Z; v. 17, suppl. A-Z. 

A famous encyclopedia, well edited and well 
written, once of first importance and still useful in 
many cases if allowance is made for the fact that 
it is not up to date and must be checked, on im¬ 
portant points, by occasional reference to more 
recent authorities. Combines the features of dic¬ 
tionary and encyclopedia, and as an encyclopedia 
is an extreme example of entry under small subject, 
including many articles, some of considerable length, 
on individual works of literature, e. g. poems, plays, 
novels, romances, etc., and a very large amount of 
minor biography not included in other general 
encyclopedias. Good for questions of European lit¬ 
erature, biography and history. Pink index pages 
referring to articles in the two supplements have 
been issued for insertion at the back of each of the 
original 15 volumes. As these were not issued until 
after the publication of the supplements they are 
not included in earlier sets, but may be purchased 
separately and inserted; price 3.50 fr.

Not an abridgment or revision of the above, but 
an entirely new work of a more popular character, 
with briefer articles, and profusely illustrated in 
both black and white and colors. Preserves much of 
the old Larousse feature of separate treatment of 
very small subjects. Especially useful for certain 
kinds of questions about works of art, as one of its 
special features is the inclusion of separate articles 
on individual works of art, e. g. paintings, statues, 
etc., entered under their titles or subjects, and ac¬ 
companied by small but usable illustrations. Con¬ 
tains a large amount of biography but comparatively 
little bibliography. For popular, not scholarly use.

ter but occasionally useful for some subjects, minor 
or recent biography, etc., not treated in La grande 
encyclopedic or Larousse.

A small, compact work, with very brief articles. 
The foregoing are the principal modern 
encyclopedias. An older work on a much 
larger scale, which in spite of the fact that 
it was never finished and is now much out 
of date, is still often useful especially for 
questions of minor biography, place names, 
etc., is the following:

A useful encyclopedia for the very large refer¬ 
ence or special library. It has long articles, bibliog¬ 
raphies, many good illustrations and maps, and 
includes many short articles on very small subjects. 
Special features are the many maps, geographical, 
geological, historical and statistical, the numerous 
plans of even small cities, colored plates of uni¬ 
forms, flags, coins, etc,, of each country, and the 
many reproductions of paintings and other works 
of art given usually under title and sometimes 
under the artist’s name.

DICTIONARIES 


For a general survey of the whole field of language dictionaries consult the article 
‘‘Dictionary” in the Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th edition. This is valuable for its his¬ 
torical information, but the appended bibliography has not been sufficiently revised to 
include the best recent dictionaries of the various languages. 


ENGLISH LANGUAGE 

For an interesting and authoritative survey of the history and development of the 
English dictionary consult Sir James A. H. Murray’s Evolution of English lexicography, 
Ox. Univ. press, 1901, olp. 

Dictionaries are the main sources for information about words, their spelling, pro¬ 
nunciation, meaning, derivation, etc. Theoretically the dictionary is concerned only with 
the word, not with the thing represented by the word, differing in this respect from the 
encyclopedia which gives information primarily about the thing. Practically, however, 
the large modern dictionary is very often encyclopedic and gives information about the 
thing as well as the word, thus combining the features of the two types of reference 
books. As the large English dictionary is the most familiar “family reference book,” 
this encyclopedic feature has been continually strengthened by the addition of many 
special lists and excellent illustrations, until the best modern works of this sort can now 
be used for many more purposes than information abouf words. Dictionaries which 
contain many illustrative quotations can often be used to find or identify a quotation, 
thus supplementing the special dictionaries of quotations. The student of reference books 
should familiarize himself with the special features and supplementary lists of each of 
the great dictionaries if he is to make each of these books serve all the purposes that it 
can be made to serve. 

Dictionaries should be purchased cautiously. Like encyclopedias they are expensive 
undertakings for the publisher, and an unscrupulous publisher may try to increase imme¬ 
diate profits by using cheap work, by reprinting without revising some older work the 
copyright of which has expired, or by other unjustifiable measures. The prospective 
buyer should use the same care as recommended in the case of encyclopedias. 

In studying an English dictionary the student should follow the general directions 
for examining reference books, and should also note carefully the following points: 
(1) period of the language covered; (2) vocabulary—extent and how counted, special 
elements included, e.g. slang, dialect, scientific terms, etc.; (3) treatment of each word 
with reference to (a) spelling, (b) syllabication and hyphenization, (c) pronunciation, 
(d) etymology, (e) history, (f) definition, (g) illustrative quotations—are they given 
freely and with exact reference, (h) standard and usage—is a word indicated as obsolete, 
colloquial, etc., (i) encyclopedic information, (j) synonyms, antonyms; (4) illustrations; 
(5) special types of words included in addition to the ordinary vocabulary, c.g. Christian 
names, foreign phrases, geographical names—to what extent are these included and 
where, i.e. in separate lists or in the main vocabulary; (6) special features and treatment 
—does the dictionary stand especially for any one thing, historical information, simplified 
spelling, etc. 

Dictionaries of the English language have been divided rather arbitrarily, according 
to their place of compilation and publication, into American dictionaries and English 
dictionaries. Of course both types cover the same field, the English language as a whole,

and conform in the main to the same standards, but there are certain minor differences. 
In cases where there are differences in spelling, pronunciation, meaning, etc., each dic¬ 
tionary will generally give both usages, but the English work will prefer the English 
usage or form, while the American work will prefer the American. An American dic¬ 
tionary generally includes more Americanisms, an English dictionary more local English 
terms and colonial words.

Published and originally sold by Century co., but 
no longer handled by that firm. 

First edition 1S89-91, 6 v., with two supplemen¬ 
tary volumes, Cyclopedia of names, 1894, and Atlas 
1897; partially revised from time to time and plates 
altered by the cutting out of some of the original 
material and the insertion of new information, but 
never entirely revised and reset. Revisions to note 
especially are: (1) Edition of 1901, 10 v., v. 1-8, 

Dictionary, v. 9, Names, v. 10, Atlas; (2) two 

supplementary volumes published 1909, numbered 
v. 11-12 to continue the 1901 edition and contain¬ 
ing about 100,000 new words, senses, and phrases 
and a 92 page supplement to the Cyclopedia of 
names; and (3) the 1911 edition, 12 v. 

Contents: v. 1-10, Dictionary; v. 11, Cyclopedia 
of names; v. 12, Atlas. 

Printed from the same plates as the earlier edi¬ 
tions but with alterations in the plates to include a 
considerable amount of new material. In addition 
there is bound at the end of each volume the corre¬ 
sponding portion of the alphabet from the two sup¬ 
plementary volumes published in 1909, making two 
alphabets in each volume linked together by cross- 
references. 

The most comprehensive and detailed American 
dictionary and the best example of the encyclopedic 
type. Its special features are its free inclusion and 
careful treatment of the technical terms of the 
various sciences, arts, trades and professions, its 
excellent illustrations and plates, and, particularly, 
the large amount of encyclopedic material included. 
This last feature makes the work almost as much 
an encyclopedia as a dictionary.

First edition 1893 had title Standard dictionary; 
a new edition, 1901, had 85 pages of addenda con¬ 
taining 13,000 new words but was otherwise printed 
from the same plates as the first edition; the New 
Standard is a thorough revision of the 1893 edition, 
reset and printed from new plates throughout. 

Contents: (1) Dictionary, including in one 

alphabet all ordinary dictionary words and also the 
various proper names, i. e. biographical, bibliograph¬ 
ical, geographical, mythological, biblical, etc., which 
were given in separate lists in the first edition; (2) 
Appendix: Disputed pronunciations, Rules for sim¬ 
plified spelling, Foreign words and phrases. Statistics 
of population, History of the world day by day 
(this last in “subscription ed.” only). 

A serviceable one volume work, the most recently 
revised of American dictionaries and therefore often 
the most useful for new words. Its special feature 
is emphasis upon current information, i. e. present 
day meaning, pronunciation, spelling, and the sub¬ 
ordination of the historical to the current informa¬ 
tion. Full vocabulary, about 450,000 words includ¬ 
ing 65,000 proper names, aims to include all live 
words of the language in standard speech and litera¬ 
ture of the day and terms commonly used dialect¬ 
ically by large numbers of people in different parts 
of the English speaking world. Prefers simpler 
spelling and when several forms are used by author¬ 
ities indicates those used by American philological 
association. American spelling reform association, 
and Simplified spelling board. Marks syllabication 
and hypenated words plainly, using single hyphen for 
the first and double hyphen for the second; indicates

edition; the New international, 1909, is entirely re¬ 
vised and reset throughout. 

Contents: (1) Dictionary, including in the same 
list both the usual dictionary words and also foreign

paged supplement “Reference history of the world”

erence history” by J. C. Ridpath and H. E. Scud- 
der. 

The oldest and most famous American dictionary, 
a good all round dictionary with no marked speciali¬ 
zation or bias, well edited, reliable, and noted par¬ 
ticularly for the clearness of its definitions. The 
most used, and for general purposes the most use¬ 
ful, of the one volume dictionaries, although as it 
has been less recently revised than the New 
Standard it is less useful than that work for very 
recent words or meanings. A special feature in 
the arrangement is the divided page, containing in 
the upper part the main words of the language and 
in the lower part, in finer print, minor words, 
foreign phrases, abbreviations, etc. Contains con¬ 
siderable encyclopedic matter, about 6,000 illustra¬ 
tions and a number of good colored plates.

Known variously as Murray’s dictionary, the New 
English dictionary, and the Oxford dictionary. For 
history of the work see preface to volume one, and 
also Murray’s Evolution of English lexicography. 

The great dictionary of the language, compiled on 
a different plan from any of the other standard Eng¬ 
lish dictionaries and serving a different purpose. It 
is based upon the application of the historical 
method to the life and use of words and its purpose 
is to show the history of every word included from 
the date of its introduction into the language, show¬ 
ing differences in meaning, spelling, pronunciation, 
usage, etc., at different periods of the last 800 years, 
and supporting such information by numerous quo¬ 
tations from the works of more than 5,000 authors 
of all periods, including all writers whatever before 
the 16th century and as many as possible of the im¬ 
portant writers since then. The vocabulary is very 
full, and is intended to include all words now in 
use or known to have been in use since 1150, 
excluding only words which had become obsolete by 
1150. Within these chronological limits, aims to 
include: (1) all common words of speech and lit¬ 
erature, and all words that approach these in char¬ 
acter, the limits being extended further into science 
and philosophy than into slang and cant; (2) in 
scientific and technical terminology, all words Eng¬ 
lish in form except those of which an explanation 


ENGLISH 


45 


would be intelligible only to a specialist, and such 
words not English in form as are in general use 
or belong to the more familiar language of science; 
(3) dialectal words before 1500, omitting dialectal 
words after that date except when they continue the 
history of a word once in general use, illustrate 
the history of a literary word or have a literary 
currency. Words included are classified as (1) main 
words, (2) subordinate words, (3) combinations; 
information for all main words is entered under its 
current modern or most usual spelling, or if obso¬ 
lete under most typical later spelling, with cross 
references from all other forms. Information given 
about each main word is very full and includes 
(1) Identification, including (a) usual or typical 
spelling, (b) pronunciation indicated by respelling 
in an amplified alphabet or in case of obsolete 
words by marking of stress only, (c) grammatical 
designation, (d) specification, e. g. musical term, 
etc., (e) status, if peculiar, e. g. obsolete, archaic, 
etc., (f) earlier spelling, (g) inflexions; (2) 
Morphology, including derivation, subsequent form 
history, etc., (3) Signification, arranged in groups 
and historically, with marking of obsolete senses, 
erroneous uses, etc.; (4) Quotations, arranged 
chronologically to illustrate each sense of a word, 
about one quotation for each century, given with 
exact reference. 

The most important use of this dictionary is for 
historical information about a word but it has many 
other secondary uses; e. g. while not intentionally 
encyclopedic it has a good deal of encyclopedic in¬ 
formation including some not given in other diction¬ 
aries, and while not specializing in slang it does 
include many colloquial and slang words, Amer¬ 
icanisms, etc., and where such words are included 
the information is often better than in the special 
slang dictionaries.

$3.75. 423 

Includes words in current use or preserved in 
much used quotations or proverbs, scientific and 
technical terms that are current in general speech 
but are not purely learned terms, and many collo¬ 
quial, facetious, slang and vulgar expressions. An 
excellent small desk dictionary, based upon the work 
done for the New English dictionary. 

Etymology 

For the etymology of the English lan¬ 
guage, the best authority, so far as it has 
been published, is Murray’s New English 
dictionary. A smaller but very useful work 
and the standard special dictionary is:

FOREIGN LANGUAGES 

Foreign dictionaries are important in 
any library, though their use will vary 
greatly according to the size and type of 
the library and the character of the li¬ 
brary clientele. The needs of the small 
library used by English speaking readers 
will be met by a modest equipment of 
hrench, German and Latin dictionaries, 
while the small or branch library in a lo¬ 
cality which has a considerable immigrant 
population will need also the dictionaries 
of the languages of these immigrants. 
Large public libraries and especially uni¬ 
versity libraries need the best dictionaries 
of all principal languages and many minor 
languages. 

Two main types of dictionaries are rep¬ 
resented in the following list: (l) the 
standard dictionary of a language in that 
language only, such as Littre’s French dic¬ 
tionary, and (2) the bilingual dictionary, 
such as the various French-English and 
German-English dictionaries. The first 
type is the more complete and must be 


FOREIGN 


49 


consulted when the fullest vocabulary or 
detailed and historical information is 
needed, but it can be used only by some¬ 
one fairly familiar with the language, and 
is not needed generally in the smaller li¬ 
brary. The second type, which is the most 
used kind in the average library, is planned 
for people who are learning a language, 
is much less complete in vocabulary and 
contains generally no historical informa¬ 
tion, as its main purpose is not detailed 
definition but the explanation of a foreign 
word by its English equivalent. The ordi¬ 
nary bilingual dictionary is generally very 
satisfactory for most words of the “liter¬ 
ary” language but is often weak in scien¬ 
tific terms and popular expressions. Bilin¬ 
gual dictionaries differ greatly also, 
according to the users for whom they are 
compiled. In a French-English dictionary 
prepared for the use of English speaking 
students who are learning French, the 
French-English half of the book is the 
more important and this will be worked 
out very carefully, while the English- 
French half may be given briefer or less 
careful treatment. The reverse is true of 
a dictionary prepared for French students 
learning English. In that case the Eng¬ 
lish-French half is more important and 
will generally be fuller and better than the 
French-English half. A library which can 
afford to have several dictionaries of a 
language should take this difference into 
account and represent both points of view. 

As so large a proportion of the use of 
foreign dictionaries in an American library 
is for the purpose of finding the English 
meaning of a foreign word, the many other 
possible uses of such books are sometimes 
overlooked. The larger dictionaries fre¬ 
quently contain some encyclopedic infor¬ 
mation, those that include many quotations 
may often be used to supplement the dic¬ 
tionaries of foreign quotations, and the 
larger historical or dialectal dictionaries 
which include obsolete words, local usages, 
etc., may be used for information on small 
points of local history, manners and cus¬ 
toms, folk lore, etc.

“In the Deutsches worterbuch of Jacob and Wil¬ 
helm Grimm the scientific spirit . . . first found 

expression in general lexicography . . . Their 

design, in brief, was to give an exhaustive account 
of the words of the literary language (New High 
German) from about the end of the 15th century, 
including their earlier etymological and later his¬ 
tory, with references to important dialectal words 
and forms; and to illustrate their use and history 
abundantly by quotations . . . The scope and 

methods of this dictionary have been broadened 
somewhat as the work has advanced. In general

it may be said that it differs from the New English 
dictionary chiefly in its omission of pronunciations 
and other pedagogic matter; its irregular treatment 
of dates; its much less systematic and less lucid 
statement of etymologies; its less systematic and 
less fruitful use of quotations; and its less con¬ 
venient and less intelligible arrangement of material 
and typography.” Encyclopaedia Britannica, nth

SPECIAL SUBJECTS 


PHILOSOPHY 

Baldwin, Janies Mark. Dictionary of 
philosophy and psychology, including 
many of the principal conceptions of 
ethics, logic, aesthetics, philosophy of re¬ 
ligion, mental pathology, anthropology, bi¬ 
ology, neurology, physiology, economics, 
political and social philosophy, philology, 
physical science and education, and giving 
a terminology in English, French, Ger¬ 
man and Italian. N. Y. Macmillan, 1901- 
05. 3v. in 4, illus. pi. (partly col.) 27 cm . 
$26. 103 

Contents: v. 1, A-Lavvs; v. 2, Le-Z; Indices: 

(1) Greek terms (2) Latin terms (3) German 
terms (4) French terms (5) Italian terms; v. 3, 
Bibliography of philosophy: pt. 1, History of 
philosophy, pt. 2. Systematic philosophy, Logic 
Aesthetics, Philosophy of religion, Ethics, Psychol¬ 
ogy. 

A useful authoritative work, concise rather than 
exhaustive in treatment, with signed articles by 
specialists and many bibliographies. Covers the 
whole field but is fuller for modern than for 
earlier aspects of the subjects and does not attempt 
to cover the whole of Greek and Scholastic philoso¬ 
phy. Includes very brief biographies of men no 
longer living. A special feature is the inclusion 
of French, German and Italian equivalents of Eng¬ 
lish terms. 

A new edition 1910 differed from the original 
only in the correction of a few typographical errors.

N. Y. Funk, [ c 1908—12]. 12 v. and index. 
28 cm . $64. 203 

This encyclopedia is one of the most important 
reference books on its subject in English, supersed¬ 
ing the older work by M’Clintock and Strong, except 
for an occasional special article. Based upon the 3d 
ed. of the Uerzog-Uauck-Real-encyklopadie, and so 
Protestant in tone, but not biased. Is not a mere 
translation of the German work, however, as much 
of the material has been condensed, fresh material 
added and the bibliographies extended and improved. 
Is not limited to the Christian religion but includes 
articles on other religions and religious leaders. 
Covers the whole field of biblical, historical and 
contemporary theology, church history and religious 
biography, including separate articles on all sects, 
denominations and churches, organizations and so¬ 
cieties, missions, doctrines, controversies, etc. Bio¬ 
graphical notices include those of men still living. 
The strongest feature of the work is the bibliograph¬ 
ical feature which is in three forms—(1) an ex¬ 
cellent general bibliographical survey, with critical 
comment, in the preface (xii-xxiv), (2) the bibliog¬ 
raphical appendix at the beginning of each volume 
which gives recent literature, and (3) the fine 
bibliographies appended to each article. 

The most extended modern work of 
reference in the field of theology is the 
great French series now in course of pub¬ 
lication under the general title Encyclo¬ 
pedic des sciences religieuses, composed of 
the following separate works: 

Dictionnaire d’archeologie chretienne, by 
Cabrol; Dictionnaire d’histoire et de geo¬ 
graphic ecclesiastiques, by Baudrillart; 
Dictionnaire de theologie catholique, by 
Vacant and Mangenot; Dictionnaire de la 
Bible, by Vigoroux, and Dictionnaire du 
droit canonique, (this last in preparation 
but not yet published). Parts of this se¬ 
ries contain the finest material on the sub¬ 
ject published in any language and the 
work as a whole represents the highest 
level of French Catholic scholarship. The 
price of the sets puts them beyond the 
reach of the small or medium-sized li¬ 
brary and the work is too special to be of 
much use except in a theological library, 
a large general reference library or a li¬ 
brary which specializes in mediaeval and 
ecclesiastical history and literature. For 
historical subjects the two dictionaries by 
Cabrol and Baudrillart are the most useful

of the series. For fuller description see

fasc. 203 

Publication in fascicles was begun in 1908; v. 2 
was completed in 1914, and three fascicles of v. 3 
have been issued also, completing more than half of 
the letter A. Scope of work covers all subjects in 
history of the Roman Catholic church, and other 
churches as they affect the Roman church, from the 
beginning of Christianity to the present time. The 
geographical material includes separate articles or 
towns and other small divisions, past and present, 
indicating the connection of the place with ecclesias¬ 
tical history, its present ecclesiastical status, a list of 
its religious institutions, and, in case it is or has 
been an episcopal see, a list of the bishops, etc. 
There are biographical articles on all important and 
some minor names in the Roman Catholic church, 
members of other churches who have had any effect 
on the Roman church, all ecclesiastical and theo¬ 
logical writers, saints in the Russian and other 
churches, ecclesiastical musicians, artists, etc. Signed 
articles, good bibliographies.

A companion work to the Dictionary of Christian 
antiquities. 

Aims to supply an adequate account, based upon 
original authorities, of all persons connected with 
the church down to the age of Charlemagne about 
whom anything is known, of the literature connected 
with them, and of the controversies about doctrine 
and discipline in which they were engaged. Covers 
the whole church from the time of the Apostles to 
the age of Charlemagne but pays special attention 
to subjects and names in English, Scotch and Irish 
church history. Signed articles, bibliographies.

A revised and abridged ed. of Smith’s Dictionary 
of Christian biography. Adds later references and 
puts the articles more abreast of modern scholar¬

still be used for long articles, for minor names

this new edition covers only the first six centuries.

Eng. ed., Edin. Clark, 28s per vol. 

v. 5 is an “extra” or supplementary volume, con¬ 
taining indexes, maps and some articles not alpha¬ 
betically arranged. 

Signed articles, bibliographies. From a less ad¬ 
vanced point of view than Cheyne and intended 
for use by the general reader as well as the pro¬ 
fessional Bible student. 

In comparing the two works by Cheyne and 
Hastings the Nation says: “The one [Cheyne] is 
an international undertaking which will be accepted 
and quoted on the continent of Europe as well as 
in England and America; the other is adapted for 
the use of the English-speaking peoples. The one 
appeals to scholars and specialists; the other more 
to the body of the Christian church. It will be 
the boast of some articles in the one that they 
give the best presentation of their subjects that 
exists in English; it is true of many articles in the 
other that they give the best short presentation that 
exists in any language.”— Nation, 70 : 246 .

N. Y. Scribner, Edin. Clark, 1906-08. 2 v. 
map. 28 cm . 52s. 225.3 

Complementary to Hastings’ Dictionary of the 
Bible. Purpose is to give an account of (1) ‘every¬ 
thing relating to the person, life, work, and teach¬ 
ing of Christ, whether found in the Gospels or else¬ 
where, and (2) everything contained in the Gos¬ 
pels. Planned especially for preachers; most of 
the articles written by men who are or have been

N. Y. Scribner, Edin. Clark, 1916. 2 v.

ton, 1910. 1011 p. illus, maps. $7. 220.3 

In two alphabets: (1) the canonical books, (2) 
the apocrypha. Written from a strongly conserva¬ 
tive, and, in the case of the Old Testament articles, 
a reactionary point of view. Good illustrations. 

“On subjects which do not require critical judg¬ 
ment this dictionary is valuable, but for historical 
study, based on literary appreciation of the docu¬ 
ments, it is misleading.”— Nation, 90 : 323 .

EDITIONS 

While the Bible itself is not a reference 
book in the ordinary sense of the word, at 
least one copy or edition will be needed 
in even the small reference collection. The 
first to be purchased should be a good 


parallel text edition of the Authorized, or 
King James version, and the Revised ver¬ 
sion; a good edition is the Riverside paral¬ 
lel Bible (Bost. Houghton, $5.). To this 
should be added a copy of the Douay 
Bible, the authorized Catholic translation 
from the Latin Vulgate; a good edition is 
published at Baltimore, by Murphy, $1. A 
convenient collection of various English 
translations of the New Testament is: 
The English Hexapla, exhibiting the six 
important English translations, Wiclif 
1380, Tyndale 1534, Cranmer 1539, Ge¬ 
nevan 1557, Anglo-Rhenish 1582, Autho¬ 
rized 1611, and the original Greek text 
(Lond. Bagster, 42s. o. p.). 

Larger reference collections will need 
copies of the Latin Vulgate (good edition 
Milan, Hoepli, 1914, 12L.), and of the 
Greek text; good editions of the latter are: 
Old Testament in Greek, ed. by Henry 
Barclay Swete (Cambridge Univ. press, 
3 v. 30s.) and the Parallel New Testa¬ 
ment Greek and English, with the original 
Greek as ed. by F. H. A. Scrivener (Cam¬ 
bridge, Univ. press. 14s. 6d.)

“It differs from the general encyclopedia in omit¬

to the Church. On the other hand, it is not ex¬ 
clusively a church encyclopedia, nor is it limited 
to the ecclesiastical sciences and the doings of 
churchmen. It records all that Catholics have done, 
not only in behalf of charity and morals, but also 
for the intellectual and artistic development of 
mankind.” Preface. 

Authoritative work with long signed articles by 
specialists, good bibliographies and illustrations. 
Very useful for many questions on subjects in 
mediaeval literature, history, philosophy, art, etc., 
as well as for questions of Catholic doctrines, his¬

but for very full information often not so good as 
the great French Catholic works.

. . . is to be found in its biographies, its descrip¬ 
tions of the present state of Jews throughout the 
world, and in its elucidations of Talmudic law. On 
all these points it gives first-hand information of a

various subdivisions of the social and political 
sciences. The most complete current bibliography 
of the subject, containing a large amount of valuable

For ordinary purposes the most useful 
bibliographies in the field of the social 
sciences are the various ‘'selected lists” 
issued by the Library of Congress and 
revised as needed. These contain ref¬ 
erences to the best book and periodical 
literature on their subjects and already 
cover about seventy different subjects, in¬ 
cluding such topics as child labor, parcels 
post, political parties, monetary question, 


trusts, tariff, etc. For a complete list of 
these bibliographies see the following: 

U. S. Library of Congress. Publications 
issued by the library since 1897. Oct. 1920. 
Wash. Govt, print, off. 1920. 56 p. 

The New York public library has also 
published useful bibliographies on subjects 
in social science, including lists on bi¬ 
metallism, constitutions, criminology, eco¬ 
nomic and social aspects of war, mar¬ 
riage and divorce, minimum wage, money 
and banking, political parties, political 
rights, government control of railroads, 
etc. These lists, which are printed in the 
Bulletin of the New York public library 
and reprinted as separates, are usually 
longer than the Library of Congress se¬ 
lected lists, and are very useful when full 
lists are wanted. For briefer lists the bibli¬ 
ographies given in the Debater’s hand¬ 
book series and the Handbook series are 
often serviceable. See under Debates,

The standard English work, including some gen¬ 
eral and foreign aspects of the subject, but largely 
limited to developments of economic study in Eng¬ 
land, America and the English colonies. Signed 
articles by specialists, bibliographies. Useful and 
authoritative, but unfortunately not recently revised 
and so not up to date for recent topics and literature. 

First published 1894-96. The 1910 edition is a 
reprint, not a new edition, differing from the orig¬ 
inal edition in having an appendix of new material, 
v. 3, p. 693-803. Libraries having the original edi¬ 
tion can obtain the appendix, which is issued sepa¬ 
rately by the London house at 3s. The 1915-18 re¬ 
print contains the same supplement as the 1910, with 
cross references to the supplement incorporated in 
the main alphabet.

of Europe and very full lists of executive, legis¬

different countries and minor political divisions of 
the world. There is also some statistical informa¬

the full lists of officials.

Published since 1700. Earlier volumes had title, 
Almanach royal, Almanach imperial, etc. 

Volume for 1919 is 217th-221st annees. 

Of first importance for information about the 
organization and personnel of the government of 
France. Gives many official lists e. g. Cabinet, 
Senate and Chamber, principal officers of the various 
government offices and bureaus, outline of duties 
and functions of these bureaus. Includes also lists 
of Legion of honor, and other orders, courts, de¬ 
partmental prefectures, universities, academies, 
societies, museums, etc., chambers of commerce, etc. 

Similar lists of officials are published by 
other governments. In some cases lists of 
officials are included in the national statis¬ 
tical annuals. For example of this type of 
combination list see Handbook of Jamaica. 

POLITICAL PARTIES

Political and election statistics, accounts 
of national conventions, texts of party 
platforms were also given freely in the 


Tribune almanac, to 1914. Platforms are 
also given in the World almanac. The 
campaign text books published by the prin¬ 
cipal political parties are often useful. 

STATISTICS 

Reference questions calling for statistics 
are frequent in any library, and reference 
books which furnish reliable and up-to-date 
statistics are of great importance in any 
reference collection though their use is 
greatest in libraries where original research 
on social, political, economic, or industrial 
questions is done. Statistical reference 
books fall into four main classes: (1) gen¬ 
eral dictionaries or compends (2) almanacs 
or annuals of miscellaneous statistics and 
general information (3) census reports or 
bulletins (4) national year books and sta¬ 
tistical annuals limited to the figures of 
some particular country. Of these four 
classes the first and second are of easiest 
and most frequent use for popular ques¬ 
tions and are very useful within their own 
field, but they are usually neither detailed 
or authoritative enough for important 
questions. The third class is always official 
(i. e. prepared by a government), and the 
fourth class is usually official also, and 
both are generally reliable for important 
questions. The fourth class is expensive to 
keep up if anything like a complete collec¬ 
tion is attempted and its principal use is 
therefore in the library of some size.

ful of the American almanacs of miscellaneous 
information. Contains a great many statistics on 
social, industrial, political, financial, religious, edu¬ 
cational and other subjects, political organizations, 
societies, historical lists of famous events, etc. The 
figures and lists are well up to date and in general 
reliable; sources for many of the statistics are 
given, so the information can often be verified for 
important points. A very useful handbook, and one 
with which the reference worker should familiarize 
himself thoroughly. Alphabetical index at the front 
of each volume. Each issue before 1915 had also a 
short index of notable articles in preceding vol¬ 
umes, but in the 1915 to 1918 issues this informa¬

“The volumes numbered I—XI, constituting the 
complete reports of the census, are being issued in 
a very limited edition, intended chiefly for libraries, 
institutions and special students of statistics. 

“A condensed report, entitled Abstract of the 
census, has been printed in a much larger edition, 
intended for more general distribution and pre¬ 
pared in such a way as to meet the needs of most 
persons. ... It contains in tabular form all im¬ 
portant census statistics for the U. S. as a whole 
and for each state and principal city, together with 
a brief text explaining their meaning. The Abstract 
therefore, is a condensation of the complete census 
reports, both tables and texts, and not merely a 
compilation of tables. 

“The Abstract is issued in special editions for 
each of the several states, each edition containing 
a supplement giving the detailed statistics for 
counties, cities, and other civil divisions of the state 
to which it relates, designed to meet the needs of 
persons resident in that state or especially interested 
in it. The supplement contains also both tables and 
text. 

“As a compact reference book . . . the Ab¬ 

stract is more convenient for most persons than the 
voluminous final reports.” Announcement, 13 th Cen¬ 
sus, v. 11. 

Each library should secure the Abstract in the 
special edition for its own state. The supplements 
of state statistics are also issued separately in pam¬ 
phlet form. The large library will find it convenient

LAW 

Few general libraries can buy many law 
reference books, as such books are very 
expensive and are often so technical in 

character that they can be used intelli¬ 

gently only by lawyers or law students. 
State and legislative research libraries and 
some university libraries will naturally in¬ 
clude special law collections but most gen¬ 
eral libraries should buy only such law 
books as are needed for the less technical 
legal topics, referring all other questions 
to the nearest law library. A few law ref¬ 
erence books must however be included in 
the reference collection of any general 

library of fair size as they are needed not 
only for the more general ’aw questions 
but also for many questions in the field of 
history and the various social sciences. 
The minimum equipment for such refer¬ 
ence work should include: (1) a good law 
dictionary; (2) a set of the United States 
statutes either (a) the “Revised statutes” 
with supplements, and subsequent vol¬ 
umes of the “Statutes at large” and 


“Pamphlet laws,” or (b) the “Compiled 
statutes,” or (c) “Federal Statutes Anno¬ 
tated,” or (d) for the smaller library, 
either the compiled statutes, compact edi¬ 
tion, or Barnes’ Federal code; (3) the 
latest revision or compilation of the laws 
of the home state, with subsequent session 
laws; (4) the charter and ordinances of 
the home city; (5) the latest compilation 
of the United States “Treaties in force,” 
and Moore’s Digest of international law. 

To this minimum the library would add, 
as public demand and library funds justi¬ 
fied, one of the large law encyclopaedias 
and, if the library contains many legal 
periodicals, the indexes of legal period¬ 
icals described on p. 13.

V. 1, 1874-91; v. 2, 1892-1901. 

“In 1867 a commission was appointed to revise 
the laws, by discarding all of merely private interest 
and all which had become obsolete, and arranging 
the general and permanent laws under headings by 
which related subjects were brought together. The 
Commission reported a revision which was accepted 
and published, and is known as the Revised statutes 
of 1S75. Soon after its publication it was discovered 
that the revisers had taken liberties with the text. 
In consequence, Congress appointed a new Commis¬ 
sion to revise the work by striking out the sub¬ 
stituted words of the first commission and restoring 
the original text. When this work was completed 
it was published as Revised statutes, 2d edition, 
187S. This remains the standard. Supplementary 
revisions were made and published in 1891 and 
1901.” Supt. of documents. Price list no. io.

The above is the only English dictionary 
of the subject and is useful as far as it 
goes. For many reference questions, how¬ 
ever, the large illustrated works such as 
Racinet’s Le costume historique, or the 
various books on national costumes, are 
more useful. A good list of such works is 
the following: 

Brooklyn. Public library. Reading and 
reference list on costume. Brooklyn, N. Y. 
Public library, 1909. 64 p. 22 cm . 016.391 

Viollet-le-Duc’s Dictionnaire raisonne du 
mobilier frangais (described p. 116) has 
several sections on costume, jewelry' armor, 
etc. Parmentier’s Album historique con¬ 
tains many illustrations of costumes of 
various periods, and the other titles listed 
under Pictorial illustrations, p. 187, are 
often useful.

SPECIAL SUBJECTS 


portance of having the most up-to-date 
information is so great that reference work 
has to be done largely through the periodi¬ 
cals of the subjects, and the relative im¬ 
portance of encyclopedic reference books 
is much less than in other subjects. The 
supply of such reference books, too, is lim¬ 
ited. A scientific encyclopedia is out of 
date for some subjects as scon as it is 
printed, and needs to be revised so fre¬ 
quently, if it is to be of real service, that 
publishers hesitate to undertake many such 
books. In scientific subjects for which 
there is no reliable encyclopedia, recent 
treatises, college textbooks, etc., often fur¬ 
nish good substitutes and these as well as 
the periodical indexes should be used 
freely.

ETHNOLOGY 

U. S. Immigration commission, 1907. 

Dictionary of races or peoples. Wash. 
Govt, print, off., 1911. 150 p. inch maps. 
23 cm . (Reports of the Immigration com¬ 
mission, v. 5) 20 cts. 572 

“While this dictionary treats of more than 600 
subjects covering all the important and many of the 
obscure branches of the human family, it is in¬ 
tended primarily as a discussion of the various races 
and the peoples indigenous to the countries furnish¬ 
ing the present immigration movement to the U. S 
or which may become sources of future immigra¬ 
tion.” Preface. 

Popular rather than scientific, but useful because 
it is the only dictionary of the subject in English 
and because the foreign dictionaries are not up to 
date. Short articles; general bibliography p. 8-12, 
but no bibliographies in the text; maps, good cross- 
references. 

Museum handbooks of ethnographical 
collections are often useful reference aids 
both for their reliable descriptive matter 
and their many excellent illustrations. Im¬ 
portant examples of such handbooks are:

ties of the stone age in the department of 
British and mediaeval antiquities. 2d ed.

“Contains a descriptive list of the stocks, con¬ 
federacies, tribes, tribal divisions and settlements 
north of Mexico, accompanied with the various 
names by which these have been known, together 
with biographies of Indians of note, sketches of 
their history, archeology, manners, arts, customs and 
institutions, and the aboriginal words incorporated 
in the English language. . . . Accompanying each 
synonym (the earliest known date always being 
given) a reference to the authority is noted, and 
these references form practically a bibliography of 
the tribe for those who wish to pursue the subject 
further.” Preface. 

Other publications of the Bureau of 
American Ethnology contain much valu¬ 
able reference material on the manners, 
customs, arts, language, etc., of the native 
races of North America, and should be 
used freely for such purposes. For cata¬ 
logs and indexes see under Public

MEDICINE 

Medical reference books often present a 
difficult problem in the general library be¬ 
cause (1) they are expensive, (2) they are 
often so technical that they can be used 
intelligently only by the physician or med¬ 
ical student, and (3) in a miscellaneous 
library they are sometimes misused by 
certain types of readers. It is therefore 
important to buy only the books which are 
actually needed, and unless the library is 
maintaining a special medical reference 
collection it is usually best not to place 
such books upon the open shelves. This 
latter restriction applies especially to the 
large medical encyclopaedias, not to the 
biographical, bibliographical or historical 
reference books on this subject.

SPECIAL SUBJECTS 


Extracts are of some length and are given with exact 
reference, so that the work serves both as an en¬ 
cyclopedia of critical comment and an index of 
literary criticisms. Very useful to the reference 
librarian, and in general public library work. In 
school and college work must sometimes be used 
with care, as instructors often prefer not to have 
their students use criticisms of any work until 
after they have read the work itself.

most extensive pieces, composed in English between

the Legends, and the Drama, a desire for greater 
completeness has led to the inclusion of pieces later 
than 1400. 


SPECIAL SUBJECTS

“The work is not a history, but a handbook. It 
seeks to record the generally accepted views of 
scholars on pertinent matters, and does not pretend 
to offer new theories or investigations.” Preface. 

Gives for each piece listed, its probable date, MS 
or MSS, form and extent, dialect in which first 
composed, source or sources when known, bibliog¬ 
raphy, and comment and abstract also in case of 
the longer works. 

BIBLIOGRAPHY 

For most purposes the bibliographies 
given in the Cambridge history of English 
literature will be found satisfactory. For 
many questions the English national bib¬ 
liographies described in the section Bibli¬ 
ography, p. 210-214, will have to be used, 
especially those dealing with the earlier 
periods. The following manual is a useful 
bibliographic handbook for university stu¬ 
dents or other advanced workers.

ALLUSIONS 

The small reference books called hand¬ 
books of information, or books of allusions, 
are constantly needed for minor reference 
questions about the various biographical, 
literary, mythological, geographical and 
other allusions made by writers. They are 
also needed by readers who are participat¬ 
ing in “puzzle” or “prize question” con¬ 
tests. Books of this type usually give only 
brief information, are not always accurate, 
and seldom give authorities. They are use¬ 
ful as first aids, but must be checked by 
other authorities for important questions. 
No one book covers the whole field so it is 
well to keep many books of this type at 
hand.

taining 12 volumes; the present series, the 12th, was 
begun in 1916. There is an index to each volume 
and a general index to each series. If it is not 
convenient to keep the whole set in the reference

ANTHOLOGIES 

Anthologies, or compilations of poetical 
selections, form an important element in 
any reference collection. Their principal 
reference use is as aids in finding quickly 
some one poem, and they are most useful 
in the case of poems by authors whose col¬ 
lected works are not. in the library, or in 
cases where the reader knows only the 
title or first line of a poem, and not the 
author’s name. Many anthologies have 
biographical or bibliographical notes which 
are often useful. The value of an anthol¬ 
ogy for reference purposes depends upon 
the care with which the selection has been 
made, the number of authors represented, 
the character of the notes, and the com¬ 
pleteness of the indexes which should be 
such that any poem included can be found 
if either its author, title, or first line is 
known. There are so many good antholo¬ 
gies that it is impossible to list all, but the 
following are among the most useful:

first lines. A very useful index, important in pub¬ 
lic, college and school libraries. 

Appendices contain: (1) Suggested lists for Arbor 
day, Bird day, Christmas, Decoration day, Easter, 
Flag day, Fourth of July, Hallowe’en, Labor day, 
Lincoln’s birthday, May day, New Year’s, Thanks¬

Noted persons about whom poems have been writ¬ 
ten; Temperance selections. 

1st ed., publ. 1904, is still useful, as it indexed 
some collections not included in the new ed. 

QUOTATIONS 

Books of quotations are important in 
any reference collection for (1) supplying 
quotable passages from the writings of a 
given author, (2) suggesting quotations 
suitable for a given occasion or use, (3) 
identifying a given quotation. This last 
is the most frequent and important of the 
three uses. As every book of quotations 
is necessarily selective and as each includes 
something not given in the others, the 
large library will need all such books which 
are of any value at all. The small library, 
however, can get along with a much more 
limited supply. If it has two, (l) Bart¬ 
lett, as the best chronological-author list, 
and (2) Hoyt, as the most useful subject 
list, it is well equipped for ordinary refer¬ 
ence work with English quotations. 

The reference value of a book of quo¬ 
tations depends upon three things: (1) 
the comprehensiveness of the collection 
and the care and judgment with which the 
quotations have been chosen; (2) the ex¬ 
actness of reference with which the quota¬ 
tions are given, i. e. reference should be 
not merely to the author, but to the spe¬ 
cial w r ork, and its chapter, section, stanza, 
etc.; and (3) the completeness of the index. 
As the most frequent use of such books is 
for the purpose of locating a given quota¬ 
tion, the index should include every word 
in each quotation listed which a reader is 
at all likely to remember.

CONCORDANCES 

Concordances are useful (1) for a study 
of an author’s use of words, (2) as an index 
(verbal only) to the subject matter of 
his writings and (3) for locating quota¬ 
tions. For this third use they are an im¬ 
portant supplement to the collection of dic¬ 
tionaries of quotations. The most useful 
concordances are those that are complete, 
i. e. cover not only all of an author’s writ¬ 
ings but all words used by him, except 
articles and certain minor words, and all 
occurrences of each word. 

Verbal indexes resemble concordances 
and may be used for the same purpose but 
are less easy to use for quick reference be¬ 
cause they merely refer to the place where 
a word occurs and do not quote context'. 
Certain author dictionaries, i. e. those which 


134 


SPECIAL SUBJECTS 


are dictionaries of language not of subject 
matter, may also be made to serve as con¬ 
cordances. Examples of dictionaries 
which may be used in this way are the dic¬ 
tionaries included in the French Grands 
ecrivains series.

AUTHOR DICTIONARIES 

There are three main types of author 
dictionaries: (1) dictionary of an author’s 
language, giving definitions and explana¬ 
tions of his use of words; (2) dictionary 
of characters, places, allusions, etc.; and 
(3) dictionary, or index, of the subject 
matter of an author’s work. The reference 
value of a dictionary of any of these types 
depends upon (1) the completeness, accu¬ 
racy and information with which the work 
has been done, and (2) the exactness of 
the references, which should be made, in 
every case, to the particular chapter, stan¬ 
za, scene, etc., in which a given word, 
character, or subject, is to be found, not 
merely to the title of the work.

Based upon his larger work, 1898, but not a 
mere abridgment, as it includes some names and 
material not included in the earlier work, omits 
names in one poem now known not to have been 
written by Dante and brings other matter in line 
with more recent information. Conciseness is at¬ 
tained by judicious condensation rather than by 
omission of anything vital.

Gives the characters and scenes of all the novels 
in one alphabetical list, but contains no outlines of 
plots. Differs from Rogers’ Waverley dictionary in 
having the one list instead of a separate list for each

in which a character appears, not to specific chap¬ 
ters. In this latter respect less useful than Rogers, 
but lists more characters than the latter.

An excellent small dictionary, by a man who has 
been for fifteen years on the staff of the New Eng¬ 
lish dictionary. The aim of the glossary is to sup¬ 
ply (1) definitions or illustrations of words or senses 
now obsolete or surviving only in archaic or pro¬ 
vincial use, (2) explanations of other words involv¬ 
ing allusions not generally familiar, (3) explana¬ 
tions of proper names carrying with them some 
connotative significance or offering special interest 
or difficulty, and of idioms, or colloquial phrases, 
specialized uses of pronouns and particles and the 
relation of the poet’s vocabulary to the midland 
area, especially Warwickshire. Includes also obso¬ 
lete and technical terms which occur only in the 
stage directions.

A subject index of names of persons, places,

ary, and the summaries of characters are fuller.

FICTION 

Reference books on fiction are needed 
for finding many things e. g. author’s name 
when only title of book is known, lists of 
novels dealing with special subjects, locali¬ 
ties or historical periods, descriptive or 
critical notes and outlines of plots, the title 
of the work in which a certain fictitious 
character appears, the collection or other 
work in which a story not published sepa¬ 
rately may be found, etc. The following 
books will help on most of these points, 
but the handbooks of allusions and the 
various author dictionaries must also be 
used. Printed library catalogs which con¬ 
tain many title and analytic entries are 
useful, and the indexes of periodicals must 
often be used for stories and novels printed 
in periodicals.

new material, the combination of the English, Irish, 
Scotch and colonial lists under one heading, the ex¬ 
tension of the foreign lists, the omission of the his¬ 
torical appendix and the combination of the indexes. 
There are separate national lists for English, Amer¬ 
ican, Belgian (including Dutch and Flemish), Celtic,

Routledge, N. Y. Macmillan, 1914. 566 p. 
23 cm . 25s. $9. 016.8 

Practically a new work, although based upon the 
author’s History in fiction, 1907. Lists about 5,000 
novels which in any way portray the life of the past, 
i:icluding mediaeval romances and novels of man¬ 
ners, as well as avowedly historical novels. Arrange¬ 
ment is first by country and then chronologically by 
the historical period illustrated and descriptive notes 
indicate briefly the plot and scene of each story, its 
historical characters, etc. Full index (148p.) of 
authors, titles, historical names, places, events, 
allusions, etc. Best and most comprehensive list yet 
published.

First edition, 1905. An interesting selection of 
the principal works of about 1,200 authors, mostly 
French but including the best known names of other 
nationalities, with brief comment on subject and 
tone of each novel, and an indication as to whether 
it is allowed or proscribed, and why. Contains six 
alphabetical lists: (1) books forbidden because on 
the Index; (2) books forbidden on moral grounds; 
(3) books for mature readers; (4) safe novels; (5) 
stories for younger readers; (6) juveniles. From 
the French Catholic point of view, but not limited 
to Catholic authors. Not of frequent use in the 
average American public library, but occasionally 
useful for the point of view and for the comments on 
the subjects and tone of the French authors in¬ 
cluded.

with full information under author and cross ref¬ 
erences from title. Indexes the short stories of 
472 writers and indicates where these may be found 
in collected works, separate volumes, periodicals, 
or composite collections. All material indexed is 
in English, but of the 472 authors included, 120 
are foreign writers v.'hose works are accessible in 
English translations. The cross references from 
title to author serve to answer questions of author¬ 
ship also. 

New edition in preparation. 

Hannigan, Francis J. Standard index of 
short stories, 1900-1914. Bost. Small, 1918. 
334 p. 25 cm . $10. 016.8 

An author and title index to all stories published 
in 24 American magazines, 1900-14. Contains some 
35,000 entries for stories by about 3,000 authors, 
but unfortunately duplicates much material available 
elsewhere, as more than half of the magazines cov¬ 
ered are indexed regularly in the Readers’ guide. 
Its special use is for the titles not covered by the 
Readers’ guide, and for the convenience of a single 
list instead of three alphabets.

Faxon, $3. 

A title index, with entry under best known title 
and cross references from variant titles, to the fairy 
tales and legends included in a large number of col¬ 
lections; stories suitable for very young readers are 
starred. Principally useful in public libraries and as 
a help to the children’s librarian, but of some value 
also to the special student of folk lore and popular 
tales.

stories of the year and (2) Yearbook. Contents of 
yearbooks vary somewhat but include, in general, 
list of magazines which publish short stories, roll of 
honor of authors selected, with brief biographies, 
list of best books of short stories of the year, list 
of articles on short stories (including reviews), 
index, by authors, of short stories published in 


books, index, by authors, of short stories in maga¬ 
zines. This latter index covers some magazines not 
indexed in the Readers’ guide. 

SYNOPSES 

Synopses of well-known books, plots of 
novels, dramas, etc., are often asked for by 
readers. In some cases, as when college 
or high school students ask for synopses 
to save the trouble of reading the whole of 
some assigned work, the librarian may 
need to exercise some discretion as to 
whether or not the material should be sup¬ 
plied, but as other requests will be legiti¬ 
mate a general reference collection needs 
to include some aids for such questions. 
Good synopses will be found in several of 
the author dictionaries listed on p. 136-41 
and briefer outlines are given in such 
works as Brewer’s Reader’s hand book, 
Baker’s Historical fiction and Best fiction, 
etc. Critical works, or reviews, often give 
an outline of the works criticized, and some 
encyclopedias, especially the Grand dic- 
tionnaire of Larousse give many outlines. 
For special collections of synopses of 
operas and dramas, see those headings, 
p. 120 and 145.

in the British Museum. Its scope is not limited to

SPECIAL SUBJECTS 


a descriotion of those works which by their con¬ 
nection with the various cycles or by their own 
construction can claim the title of Romances, but 
it also embraces a larger class of literature which 
more or less directly has to do with the subject. . . . 

“Taking into account also the bibliographical and 
literary information with which the descriptions 
are accompanied, and the critical analysis to which 
the different texts have been submitted, it is hoped 
that the Catalogue may serve not only as a guide 
to the Museum collection, but also, to some extent, 
as a handbook to the subject.” Preface. 

The most important reference book in English 
on the subject. For each romance it gives, in ad¬ 
dition to the description of the manuscript in the 
British museum, some account of the tale, its out¬ 
lines, different versions, other manuscripts, author¬ 
ship, history, etc., and important bibliographic 
references both to printed texts and to critical com¬ 
ment. 

To be completed in four volumes; the fourth will 
contain additional romances and a general index.

acters of the principal British, Celtic, French, Ital¬ 
ian, Scandinavian, Spanish and Teutonic romances 
of the period from the eleventh to the fourteenth 
century, giving under title a fairly detailed synopsis 
of the story of the romance with some bibliographic 
references but no full list of editions, and under 
name of character a brief description of the charac¬ 
ter and the title of the romance in which it occurs.

DRAMA 

Reference books on the drama are 
needed for finding (1) biographies of 
dramatists or actors; (2) the author’s name 
when only the title of a play is known; 
(3) outline of the plot, list of characters, 


date and place of production, etc., of a 
given play; (4) information as to where 
text of plays not separately published may 
be found; (5) dramatic criticisms, etc. 

In addition to the special reference books 
noted below, certain sections in some of 
the more general reference books are use¬ 
ful. The subject-index volumes of Lorenz, 
Catalogue general (see under Bibliog¬ 
raphy, p. 214) give, under the heading 
Theatre-Pieces isolees, title lists of all 
French plays separately published since 
1840. The index volumes of Kayser’s 
Biicher-lexikon give similar lists of Ger¬ 
man plays under the heading Theater - 
stiicke; earlier German lists are given as 
supplements, under the heading Schau- 
spiele, in each volume of Heinsius’ Biicher- 
lexikon, 1700-1827. These lists answer 
questions both of authorship and of publi¬ 
cation. Printed library catalogs which 
contain many title and analytic entries are 
useful. The catalogue of the Milwaukee 
public library enters plays under title as 
well as author and indexes many sets and 
collections. The Library of the Peabody 
institute in both its first and second cata¬ 
logs gives under the heading Drama an 
author and also a title list of single plays 
with references to collections in which they 
may be found. 

Clarence, Reginald. “The Stage” cyclo¬

betical list of plays and other stage pieces 
of which any record can be found since the

dates and places of production, and other 
useful information comprising in all nearly 
50,000 plays and extending over a period 
of upwards of 500 years. Lond. “The 
Stage,” 1909. 503 p. 22 cm . 30s. 6d. 808.2 

A title list with some subject entries ( e. g. Greek 
plays, French plays, etc.) aiming to be complete foi 
English drama and selective for the better known 
foreign plays. 

“The object of the present work has been to com¬ 
plete an alphabetical list of plays, operas, oratorios, 
sketches and other stage pieces of which any record 
can be found since the commencement of the Eng¬ 
lish stage, giving authors’ names, dates of produc¬ 
tion, and recording important revivals.” Preface.

BIOGRAPHY 

Dictionaries of biography are among the 
most important and most used reference 
books in any collection, and even a small 
library will need several books of this 
class. There are three main tjqpes of bio¬ 
graphical dictionaries: (1) general, (2) na¬ 
tional or regional, (3) special classes, e. g. 
artists, musicians, etc. Each of these 


classes may, in turn, be divided as (1) gen¬ 
eral or retrospective, i. e. not limited to 
any period, and (2) contemporary. 

In examining biographical dictionaries, 
test them for the points enumerated in the 
general instructions for examining refer¬ 
ence books (see Introduction p. vii), and 
in addition note carefully whether there is 
any evidence of what is called the “com¬ 
mercial” character about the book. Un¬ 
scrupulous publishers will sometimes in¬ 
clude padded or unduly eulogistic articles 
on comparatively unknown persons, with 
the expectation, or on condition, that per¬ 
sons thus written up will subscribe for the 
book. The inclusion of such articles puts 
the book in the “commercial” class and 
casts douot upon the authority of all ar¬ 
ticles. Such books are not necessarily to 
be rejected if they happen to be the only 
ones in their particular field, but they must 
always be used with caution, and they have 
no critical value.

4th ed. rev. Phil. Lippincott, 1915. 
[ c 1870—1915] 2550 p. 27 cm . $12. 920.01 

The most frequently useful of the general bio¬ 
graphical dictionaries in English. Comprehensive, 
includes men and women of all nations and periods, 
including many still living; names from the Greek, 
Roman, Teutonic, Sanskrit and other mythologies 
are also included. Articles in general are brief, 
though there are some long articles, pronunciation 
is marked and there is some bibliography, though this 
feature is not important. Appendices: (1) Vocab¬ 
ulary of Christian (or first) names, with pronuncia¬ 
tion, and equivalents in the principal foreign lan¬ 
guages; (2) Disputed or doubtful pronunciations. 

The 4th edition though revised so as to include 
considerable new material is not reset but is printed 
from the plates of the 3d edition (1901) with altera¬ 
tions in some of the older articles to bring them to 
date, omission of some minor articles, and inclusion 
of new names.

de gens de lettres et de savants. Paris. 
Mme. C. Desplaces, 1843-65. 45 v. 27 cm . 

o. p. 920.01 

Usually cited as Michaud. 

The first ed., in 84 vols. including supplements, 
was published 1811-57, and the issue of the new ed., 
•'evised and enlarged, was begun in 1843, but its 
publication was interrupted in 1852 by a law suit 
undertaken by Mine. Desplaces, its publisher, 
against the firm of Didot freres, which had started 
a rival dictionary, the Nouvelle biographie univer- 
selle ancienne et moderne, ed. by Iloefer, and had 
incorporated in the first two volumes of the work 
336 articles taken unchanged from Michaud and 
69 taken with only slight alteration, besides others 
evidently based on Michaud. After various deci¬ 
sions and reversals the suit was finally won by 
Mme. Desplaces in 1855, Didot was forbidden to 
copy any more and the publication of Michaud was 
resumed. The Didot dictionary, under a changed 
title (see below) and without the pirated articles, 
was also continued. For an interesting account oi 
this famous suit see the Quarterly review, 157: 
204-26. 


The most important of the large dictionaries of 
universal biography, still very useful in spite of the 
fact that the articles are now more than 50 years 
old. While Michaud and the rival work by Hoefer 
cover much the same ground, there are definite and 
well recognized differences. Michaud is more care¬ 
fully edited, its articles, which are signed with 
initials, are longer and often better than those in 
Hoefer, its bibliographies (except in one point) are 
better and it contains more names in the second 
half of the alphabet, N-Z. Hoefer contains more 
names, especially minor ones, in the part A-M, has 
some articles which are better than the correspond- 
ing articles in Michaud, and in the bibliographies 
gives titles in the original whereas Michaud trans¬ 
lates into rrench.

raphie generale. There are three editions of v. 1-2: 
(1) edition with title Nouvelle biographie universelie 
ancienne et moderne, containing the 405 pirated 
articles from Michaud; (2) edition with title Nou¬ 
velle biographie universelie depuis les temps les plus 
recules, with those articles omitted; (3) edition with 
title Nouvelle biographie generale. This last is the 
one usually found in libraries. 

This work was planned to be more concise and 
more comprehensive than Michaud, to include names 
of people then living, and many minor names omitted 
in Michaud. It does include more names in the 
first part of the alphabet. For other points of com¬ 
parison see note under Biographie universelie.

some account of the personage may be found. The 
most complete and important work in this field, very 
useful for out of the way names, or for complete 
lists of references on more familiar names; less 
useful for quick reference work on more familiar 
names, because too much material is given for the 
ordinary reader. For the large and university

NATIONAL 

AMERICAN 

There is, unfortunately, no American 
dictionary of national biography of the 
first rank. The nearest approach is Apple¬ 
ton’s Cyclopaedia of American biography, 
but this, though a reliable and serviceable 
work as far as it went, was never from 
the point of view of either authority and 
length of articles or amount of bibliog¬ 
raphy, in the same class as the English 
Dictionary of national biography. 

Appleton’s cyclopaedia of American bi¬ 
ography; ed. by J. G. Wilson and John 
Fiske. N. Y. Appleton, 1888-1900. 7 v. 

illus. ports. 28 cm . o. p. 920.07 

Contents: v. 1-6, A-Z, suppl. A-Z, analytical in¬ 
dex; v. 7, suppl. A-Z; Pen-names, nicknames, 
sobriquets; List of deaths in v. 1-6; Signers of the 
Declaration of Independence, Presidents of the 
Continental congress, Presidents, vice-presidents, 
unsuccessful candidates for those offices, cabinets, 
1789-1897; analytical index to v. 7. 

“Includes names of native and adopted citizens of 
the U. S., including living persons, from the earliest 
settlement. Also eminent citizens of Canada, Mexico, 
and all other countries of North and South America. 
Also names of men of foreign birth who are closely 
identified with American history.” Preface. 

On the whole, the best of the general American 
biographical dictionaries. Contains generally accu¬ 
rate and fairly long articles, little bibliography, 
many portraits, principally small but clear cuts in 
the text, and many facsimiles of autographs. A pecu¬ 
liarity of arrangement to be remembered is that un¬ 
der each family name arrangement is not alphabet¬ 
ical, but by seniority in the family. The analytical 
index is useful for subjects and for names not 
treated separately. 

The above is the original edition and is the one 
recommended for libraries. 

An edition entitled “Cyclopedia of American 
biography, new enl. ed. of Appleton’s cyclopedia 
of American biography ...” (N. Y., Press assoc, 
compilers, 1916. 6 v. $75.) is printed from the 

same plates as the original edition with the omis¬ 
sion of some of the older articles, the inclusion of 
some new articles and the addition of a supple¬ 
mentary list at the end of each volume. Two 
supplementary volumes to this edition, numbered as 
v. 8-9, are sold separately ($10. each). These are 
non-alphabetical.

the Conspectus noted below. 

Issued in several editions, or printings, which 
vary somewhat, later issues showing some additions 
and rearrangements. Numbering of volumes is 
somewhat irregular, i. e. in some sets 14 is suppl. 
v. 1. and in others v. 14, and two different volumes 
numbered as v. 15 have been issued, one in 1914 
and the other 1916. The first v. 15 is not found in 
all sets. A revised ed. of v. 2, showing some 
changes, omissions and additions was published 1921.

by indexes in the separate volumes.

suppl. reissue in 1 v., 36s., $16.20; Index and 
epitome, and Index and epitome, 2d suppl., bound 
together, 28s., $14.40. 

The most important reference work for English 
biography, containing signed articles by specialists, 
and excellent bibliographies. Articles are adequate, 
i. e. important names treated at great length, minor 
names more briefly, and are generally reliable and 
scholarly. Scope includes all noteworthy inhab¬ 
itants of the British Isles and the Colonies, ex¬ 
clusive of living persons; includes noteworthy 
Americans of the colonial period. The first sup¬ 
plement includes biographies of those omitted from 
the main part and of those who died before Jan. 
22, 1901; the second supplement carries the record 


to December 31, 1911; the entire work includes 
30,935 biographies. The index and epitome serves 
a double purpose, i. e. it is both an index to the 
main work and the first supplement, and also an in¬ 
dependent biographical dictionary, as it gives ab¬ 
stracts, each about one-fourteenth of the length of 
the original article. 

The main work and first supplement are pub¬ 
lished in two editions, the original edition in 66 vol¬ 
umes, and a re-issue, 1908, on slightly thinner paper, 
compressed into 22 volumes. This reprint incor¬ 
porates in the articles the corrections noted in the 
volume of Errata and is, to that extent, to be 
preferred to the original edition. Libraries buying 
the work now are recommended to purchase the re¬ 
print, but libraries having the original edition and 
the volume of Errata do not need the reprint. 

In 1917 the heirs of George Smith, founder and 
publisher of the dictionary, presented the work to 
the Oxford University press, to be continued by 
that institution. A supplement for 1912-21 is 
planned, but the only definite result (to 1922) of 
the transfer has been the reissue on thin paper and 
in one volume of the 2d supplement. As this has 
been done without repaging and without the amount 
of revision given to the reissue of the main work 
and 1st supplement, the Press has been criticized in 
print by Sir Sidney Lee. For his letter, see London 
Times literary supplement, Oct. 14, 1920, and Lon¬ 
don Times, 23 Nov., 1920, p. 8; For reply by 
secretary of the Press, see London Times, 17 Nov.

SPECIAL SUBJECTS 


FRENCH 

There is unfortunately no general dic¬ 
tionary of French national biography as 
yet. A Paris firm, Letouzey et Com- 
pagnie, has announced the preparation of 
such a dictionary and this, if it is of the 
same grade and on the same scale as the 
religious encyclopedias issued by the same 
firm (see Baudrillart, Cabrol, etc., under 
Religion, p. 61) will be of the first im¬ 
portance. No parts of the projected work 
have yet been published. For French 
biography, then, recourse must be had to 
the general French encyclopedias, to the 
general biographical dictionaries of French 
origin, such as Hoefer and Michaud, and 
to the French local biographical diction¬ 
aries which, fortunately, are numerous and 
good although not all up to date. Lists 
of these local or regional dictionaries are 
given in La grande encyclopedic 6: 894-95, 
and in Stein’s Manuel de bibliographic 
p. 501-07. The following more special 
works are also of importance: 

Haag, Eugene. La France protestante; 
ou, Vies des protestants frangais qui se 
sont fait un nom dans l’histoire depuis les 
premiers temps de la reformation jusqu’a 
la reconnaissance du principe de la liberte

ever published.

GEOGRAPHY 

There are four principal types of refer¬ 
ence books which are useful in answering 
questions in geography: (l) gazetteers, 
both general and special, which serve to

tell where a given place is and furnish de¬ 
scriptive information about it; (2) diction¬ 
aries of place names, which indicate the 
origin and meaning of such names and the 
different forms which have been in use at 
different times; (3) atlases, which supply 
maps and through their indexes aid in the 
location of places; (4) guide books which 
supply a different type of descriptive ma¬ 
terial from that given in the gazetteers and 
contain many maps, especially local maps 
and town plans, not given in the general 
atlases.

vol. 910 

Contains for each year a calendar, geographic 
chronicle, discoveries, geographic literature and ad¬ 
dress lists as follows: A, persons prominent in 
geographic work or in allied subjects; B, geograph¬ 
ical, geological, anthropological and ethnological 
societies, museums, etc.; C, periodicals; D, pub¬ 
lishers. In later volumes, all address lists are not 
repeated each year, e. g. list A is given in v. 11, 
B-D in v. 12; for full information, therefore, the 
two latest volumes must be used together.

GAZETTEERS 

GENERAL 

Lippincott’s new gazetteer; a complete 
pronouncing gazetteer or geographical dic¬ 
tionary of the world, containing the most 
recent and authentic information respect¬ 
ing the countries, cities, towns, resorts, 
islands, rivers, mountains, seas, lakes, etc., 
in every portion of the globe; ed. by An¬ 
gelo Heilprin and Louis Heilprin. Phil. 
Lippincott, 1906. 2053 p. 28 cm . $12. 910.3 

The most complete and useful of the American 
gazetteers. Includes in one alphabet names of 
cities, towns, rivers, mountains, lakes and other 
geographical features, and gives for each the pro¬ 
nunciation of its name, information about other 
names by which the place was known, location, 
altitude, etc., and, in the case of towns, population 
figures, and brief information about local industries, 
finances, history, educational and other institutions,

etc. Entry is under the present form of the place 
name (in English), with cross references from 
ancient, mediaeval or other early forms or foreign 
forms. 

This work is usually sufficient for all ordinary 
gazetteer questions. For out-of-the-way places 
omitted from this work or for fuller information 
than that given here, the large foreign works or 
the special local gazetteers must often be consulted. 

1st ed. 1855. The latest revision is the 1906 ed. 
described above, and is now out of date for all 
places affected by the European war. The 1911 ed. 
is a reprint of the 1906, with the addition of a 
supplement, p. 2055-2105, entitled “Conspectus of 
the 13th census of the United States” which gives 
1910 population figures for American states, coun¬ 
ties, cities, towns, villages, etc. The 1922 ed. is 
also a reprint of the 1906, with a similar con¬ 
spectus which gives both the 1910 and the 1920 
figures.

The most complete and important of the general 
gazetteers. The longer articles are by specialists 
and are of a high grade, information is much fuller 
than that given in either Lippincott or Chisholm 
and many names are included, especially minor 
European or Asiatic names, which are not given in 
the American and English works. Not now up to 
date and so less useful for ordinary questions than 
Lippincott, but more useful than that work when 
very detailed or out-of-the-way information is 
needed.

earliest period to the present with date when each 
form was used and exact references to manuscripts 
or printed authorities, and, in the case of important

place names, including some 5,000 names with ex¬ 
planation of their derivation and references to

cessible in any other one book, but is not always 
accurate in its etymologies, especially for Welsh 
names. For comment on this point see review by 
Henry Bradley in English historical review.

v. 3 is a regular dictionary list. As v. 3 does not 
duplicate many of the names in v. 1-2, use must 
still be made of the earlier volumes.

The main part, v. 1-2, is a catalogue, arranged by 
locality, of 3,265 atlases, giving for each full de¬ 
scriptions and contents. Volume 2 contains an 
author list and a minute analytical index which, as 
it refers to single maps listed in the contents notes, 
is of great reference value for ascertaining in what 
atlases unusual or early maps are to be found. Vol¬ 
ume 3 (1914) is a supplementary volume which lists 


the titles added to the collection since 1909 and con¬ 
tains also a minute alphabetical index and an author 
list, this latter including references to volumes 1-2, 
also, and forming a complete checklist to the whole 
collection of some 4,000 atlases. Volume 4 is an¬ 
other supplement which lists titles acquired 1914-20 
and contains an index and a combined author list 
for the 4 volumes. This author list is also printed 
separately; see following entry.

GUIDE BOOKS 

The “guide-books” prepared for the use 
of travelers are very useful in a reference 
department as they are fuller for certain 
kinds of local information than either the 
general or the special gazetteers and give 
more local maps, plans of cities, etc., than 
are given in the ordinary atlases. They 
are especially useful for information about 
the art museums, collections, etc., of any 
given place, its architectural and historical 
monuments, scenic features, railroad and 
other communications, etc. Good guide 
books are (1) the Baedeker series pub¬ 
lished in both English, French and German 
editions (English, Lond. Unwin, N. Y. 
Scribner); (2) the Murray series (Lond. 
Murray, N. Y. Scribner); (3) the Blue 
guides (Guides bleues) published in Lon-

Hachette) a French series including only a 
few titles but covering some subjects not 
included by Baedeker or Murray; (5) the 
Terry guide books, a more recent series 
(Bost. Houghton), including so far only 
two titles, Mexico and Japan; (5) an 
extended French series, the Guides Joanne 
which includes, especially, many local 
French guide-books (Paris, Joanne); this 
series was the predecessor of the “Guides 
bleues” and is being merged in that new 
series; (6) Official guide to eastern Asia, 
published by the Imperial Japanese gov¬ 
ernment railways, a recent series in five 
volumes covering Manchuria and Chosen, 
Japan (2 v.), China, and the East Indies, 
and supplying both detailed information 
and many interesting illustrations (v. 1-5, 
1913-17).

year 1791, the copyright and stock were purchased 
by Otridge and other booksellers. Messrs. Rivingtons 
published a rival continuation, which lasted from 
1791 to 1812, and again from 1820 to 1824, when 
the two were merged into one. cf. Lowndes, Bib¬

BIBLIOGRAPHY 

There is, as yet, no one reference bib¬ 
liography of the enormous literature of the 


war. For ordinary purposes the titles given 
in the International military digest, and 
those listed in the United States catalogue, 
and in the Readers guide, Readers guide 
supplement, etc., under the heading Euro¬ 
pean War, will usually furnish enough 
material. The following special bibliogra¬ 
phies contain additional material:

Brings information down to 1911 and 1912. Not a 
substitute for Haydn, but useful for later infor¬

The dictionaries listed above are the 
best authorities in English and are satis¬ 
factory for ordinary questions. The best 
foreign classical dictionaries are, however, 
superior to anything in English and should 
be used for scholarly reference work, for 
very detailed information, for full bibliog¬ 
raphies, especially for reference work for 
graduate students in university libraries. 
The best foreign works are the French 
dictionary of Daremberg and Saglio and 
the German Pauly-Wissowa, both listed 
below. These two differ in scope but are 
about equal in authority.

The two works by Sandys and Whibley are pre¬ 
pared on the same plan and similarly arranged. 
Each consists of a series of articles, by specialists, 
on topics of importance to the student of Greek and 
Roman history and literature, such as geography, 
ethnology, flora, science, chronology, coins, ships, 
buildings, population, slavery, etc. Articles are ade¬ 
quate, with useful bibliographies, and each volume 
has four indexes: (1) persons, deities and races. 
(2) places, rivers and mountains, (3) scholars and 
modern writers, (4) Latin (or Greek) words and 
phrases. Very useful as supplementing the various 
classical dictionaries. 

In addition to the above the worker in 
the university or large reference library 
will often need to refer to Ivan Muller's 
Handbuch der klassischen altertums-wis- 
senschaft (Nordlingen, Beck), a series of 
scholarly treatises on subjects in classical 
literature, antiquities, etc.

Much important reference material is to 
be found in the reports, bulletins and other 
publications issued by the various national, 
state, and municipal governments. These 
publications which are generally known as 
“government publications” or “public doc¬ 
uments” cover topics in nearly the whole 
field of knowledge, but are most important 
for subjects in the fields of social and 
political science, economics, finance, labor, 
industry, statistics, education, history, etc., 
and in certain sciences such as agriculture, 
ethnology, geology, meteorology, etc., to 
the study and promotion of which certain 
government bureaus or commissions are 
devoted. No extended reference work 
can be done in questions of labor condi¬ 
tions in America, or American geology, 
for example, without the use of some of 
the publications of the United States 
Bureau of labor of the United States 
Geological survey. 

Public documents are popularly sup¬ 
posed to be difficult to use and understand, 
and reference workers often fail to make 
the best use of such material because its 
difficulty is overrated. The only difficulty 
is that documents are published in com¬ 
plicated forms and sets and must be used 
through the printed catalogs, bibliog¬ 
raphies and indexes provided for the pur¬ 
pose, but so used the United States docu¬ 
ments for the periods covered by modern 
indexes are no harder to use than period¬ 
ical literature which has to be found 
through periodical indexes. The reference 
worker should, therefore, become thor¬ 
oughly familiar with the important docu¬ 
ment indexes. State and municipal docu¬ 
ments are somewhat harder to use because 
less well provided with indexes.

v. 1, Lists of Congressional and departmental 
publications. 

“The first systematic attempt to include within 
the limits of one publication an approximately com¬ 
plete checklist of all public documents issued by 
the United States government during the first cen¬ 
tury and a quarter of its history.”— Preface. 

A checklist, not a catalog, covering Congressional 
documents through the 60th congress, and depart¬ 
ment and bureau publications to the end of 1909. 
Lists: (1) American State papers, (2) Congressional 
documents, 15th-60th congresses; (3) Department 
publications arranged alphabetically by government 
author. 

The list of departmental publications gives, for 
periodical publications, a statement of the volumes 
and dates which constitute a complete set and the 
serial numbers if the publication is contained also 
in the serial set; for separate publications the full 
title and date are given and the serial number if 
the document appears also in the serial set. The 
preface contains a list and description of previous 
indexes and catalogs of U. S. documents. This edi¬ 
tion replaces the 2d ed. of the Checklist and the 
tables of the Tables and index, but does not yet 
supplant the index of the Tables and index. An 
index volume is to be published later.

In two parts: (1) Tables of the documents of 
the 15th to the 52d congress, inclusive, arranged by 
serial numbers; (2) Minute alphabetical subject 
index to those documents. The first part is now 
superseded by the more complete tables in the 3d 
edition of the checklist, noted above, but the sub¬ 
ject index is still very useful as a key to the con¬ 
tents of the congressional set before 1893.

Arranged chronologically, with general index. 
For each document gives full title, author, date, 
where the document may be found, and a brief 
abstract of the contents. Contains much valuable 
material but is difficult to use for quick reference 
because the index is not sufficiently complete, de¬ 
tailed or specific.

Paged continuously. 

The Comprehensive index, 1889-93, by J. G. 
Ames, published in 1894, is superseded by this work. 

Bridges the gap between Poore’s Descriptive 
catalogue, and the first volume of the Document 
catalogue. 

Arranged in three columns. In the first is given 
the author of the document or department by 
which it is issued; in the second, an alphabetical list 
of documents arranged by subjects and titles; in 
the third, reference is made to the congress, session, 
the volume of the series in which each is embraced, 
and the number of the document. A personal index 
is added. 

A good usable index, though less minute and 
detailed than the Document catalogue. Indicates 
the different editions in which a document was 
issued and gives serial numbers in a table under 
the heading Congressional documents.

The “comprehensive index” provided for by the 
act approved Jan. 12, 1895. 

This index, which is generally referred to by 
its binder’s title as the “Document catalogue,” forms 
the permanent and complete catalog of all gov¬ 
ernment publications both congressional and depart¬ 
mental for the period covered. It is a dictionary 
catalog in form, listing all documents under author 
(government or personal), subject, and, when nec¬ 
essary, title also, and giving full catalog information 
for each book or pamphlet included. Includes a 
large amount of analysis, refers to all editions in 
which a document has appeared, and gives serial 
numbers for documents in the serial set, as follows: 
in v. 1-4, serial numbers are given only in the table 
under the entry “Congressional documents”; begin¬ 
ning with v. 5 serial numbers are given also through¬ 
out the list under the main (i. e. author) entry for 
each document, but not under the analytic entries. 
As far as issued supersedes the Document index and 
the Monthly catalogue (see below).

An alphabetical author and subject index to the 
documents included in the serial set; does not cover 
bureau or department publications which are not in¬ 
cluded in the serial set. Each volume, as a general 
thing, covers one session of congress, but in a few 
cases one volume covers two sessions. Each volume 
contains: (1) alphabetical index, giving for each 

document indexed, brief title and a reference to its 
document number and to the volume of the congres¬ 
sional series in which it is included; (2) numerical 
lists, arranged by document numbers, of Senate re¬ 
ports, House reports, Senate documents, House docu¬ 
ments, with indication of the serial number of each; 
and (3) schedule of volumes, giving the serial num¬ 
ber of each volume. Only the later volumes are 
constantly used as the earlier volumes are super¬ 
seded for ordinary reference purposes by the more 
complete Document catalogue.

From 1895 to 190G inclusive the title was Cata¬ 
logue of United States public documents, issued 
monthly. 

A current bibliography of all publications issued 
by all branches of the government, including both 
the congressional and the department and bureau 
publications. Each number contains (1) general in¬ 
structions for ordering documents, (2) a preface 
calling attention to the more noteworthy documents 
of the month and (3) list of the documents pub¬ 
lished during the month arranged by departments, 
with indication, for each publication, of its full title, 
date, paging, price, Library of Congress card nuir- 
ber, etc. There is a detailed author and subject in¬ 
dex for each volume which makes it possible to use 
the list both as a bibliography and as an index to 

the subjects of the documents included. Volumes 

run July-June, and only the volumes since 1915 are 
needed for constant use, as the earlier volumes are 
superseded for most purposes by the Document 

catalogue. Prefaces omitted in later volumes.

“This index undertakes to deal only with the 
printed reports of administrative officers, legislative 
committees, and special commissions of the states 
and with governors’ messages for the period since 
1789. It does not refer to constitutions, laws, 
legislative proceedings or court decisions, except 
in so far as they happen to be found in the class 
of documents above mentioned. It attempts, on the 
other hand, to furnish a list, as complete as possible, 
of all the documents and messages which fall 
within its scope, in whatever form they have been 
published, whether separately, in collected docu¬ 
ments, legislative journals or volumes of laws, and 
to indicate the volume in which they may be found. 
In addition to furnishing a list of reports and 
messages, the index undertakes to supply a refer¬ 
ence by volume and page to all material of economic 
importance which they contain, with the exception 
of that contained in the reports of bureaus of 
labor before 1912. The reason for this exception 
is that these reports have already been indexed by 
the late Carroll D. Wright, when United States 
Commissioner of Labor, in a volume published by 
his department in 1902.” Preface. 

The word economic has been interpreted very 
liberally to include almost any aspect of American 
history. Indexing is by rather general headirgs and 
broad subjects.

A current bibliography, arranged alphabetically 
by the names of states, of the publications of the 





202 


GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS 


states, territories and insular possessions of the 
U. S. Though limited to the publications received 
by the Library of Congress the list is approximately 
complete, as the Library of Congress aims to ac¬ 
quire all such material issued. Each title is given 
with full cataloging information, including very 
detailed contents in the case of composite reports. 
The full annual index includes references to these 
contents notes as well as to the main titles, so the 
list can be made to serve as a subject index as 
well as a bibliography. 

The titles noted above represent the 
principal general bibliographies and indexes 
of state publications. There are, besides, 
many bibliographies of the publications of 
individual states, and of certain kinds of 
state publications, such as statutes, etc. 
These lists vary greatly in character, com¬ 
pleteness and reference value, but are often 
useful, especially in the case of states not 
yet included in Miss Hasse’s indexes. A 
list of such bibliographies is given in 
Reece’s State documents for libraries, 

p. 112-28. 

BRITISH DOCUMENTS

eral index to reports of select committees, 1801-52; 
[v. 4] General index, 1853-99; [v. 5] General index, 
1900-09. 

An index to the English documents included in 
the Parliamentary papers of the House of Commons, 
not including the papers of the House of Lords 
except in so far as these are duplicated in the 
Commons papers and not including the “official” 
(i. e. the bureau or departmental) publications. Is 
arranged alphabetically by rather large subjects, 
and does not include many analytic entries, in both 
respects being much less detailed than the Ameri¬ 
can indexes. Gives fairly full information about 
each paper, however, including its full title, date, 
and bill, document or command number, and a 
reference to the year and volume of the sessional 
papers in which it is to be found, and to the paging 
as made up for the House of Commons set. Some 
of the subject entries in the volumes before 1850 
are rather blind but the later indexes are well made, 


accurate and usable, except where minute analysis 
is called for. Continued by the following: 

-Lists of the bills, reports, estimates 

and accounts and papers printed by order 
of the House of Commons and of the Pa¬ 
pers presented by command, sessions 1910-

the Papers for 1912/13; Index for 1913 is v. 82 
in the Papers for 1913; Index for 1914 is v. 102 
in the Papers for 1914; Index for 1914/16 is v. 85

in the Papers for 1916; Index for 1917/18 is v. 39 

in the Papers for 1917/18. 

Each volume contains: (1) a preliminary list 
showing the make-up of the set for that session, (2) 
numerical lists of (a) bills, (b) accounts and papers, 
(c) command papers; and (3) general alphabetical 
index. This last is the main list in each volume, is 
compiled on the same plan as the cumulated indexes, 
and forms the annual index which is to be used until 
superseded by a new cumulated volume.

1915-21. 24 cm . 328.424 

A current bibliography which taken together with 
the similar list of Official publications noted below 
corresponds in a general way to the U. S. Monthly 
catalogue. Cumulates quarterly, the cumulations 
having the title “Quarterly list,” and the last cumu¬ 
lation of the year forming an annual list which as 
it has a fairly detailed alphabetical subject index 
furnishes a usable substitute for the regular annual 
index noted above, until the latter is published. 
Includes both House of Commons and House of 
Lords papers. Gives prices. Continued after 1921 
by the “Consolidated list” described below.

By P. Deschamps. A supplement to Brunet’s 
Manuel, forming volume 9 of that work in some sets. 

Brunet’s Manuel is a general bibliography of rare, 
important, or noteworthy books not limited to those 
of any one period or language but especially strong 
for French and Latin titles and for publications be¬ 
fore the 19th century. For each book listed it gives 
author, full title, place, publisher, date, size, num¬ 
ber of volumes, but not generally paging, and, in 
the case of rare books, bibliographic and critical 
notes with mention of copies and prices at famous 
sales and occasional facsimiles of title pages, print¬ 
ers’ marks, etc. The arrangement of the main work 
(v. 1-5) is alphabetic by authors and titles and 
there are two subject indexes, one in v. 6 to the 
main work and one in v. 8 to the supplement. Foot 
notes throughout v. 1-5 refer to titles omitted from 
the main author list but included in the subject vol¬ 
ume (v. 6). 

Covers much the same ground as Grasse’s Tresor 
de livres but is generally said to contain a larger 
proportion of French books while Grasse lists more 
German titles. The two books must often be used 
together as each lists titles not given in the other.

“Covers much the same ground as Brunet, but in¬ 
cludes also a large number of books that are intrinsi¬ 
cally valuable without being rare, and for this reason 
is preferable if a choice must be made between 
them.” Growoll in his Bookseller’s library. 

It is based on Brunet, but contains more entries 
of German books; prices that books brought at sales 
are given.

General bibliographies are never com¬ 
plete and must frequently be supplemented 
by more special works, especially by na¬ 
tional bibliographies and by the printed 
catalogs of large libraries. Printed cata¬ 
logs, such as the book catalogs of the 
British museum and the Bibliotheque Na¬ 
tional (see p. 230), and the depository 
card catalog of the Library of Congress, 
are especially important, partly because 
they serve to locate copies of rare books 
and partly because, as their entries are 
made only upon examination of the books 
listed, they are more free from certain 
types of error than general bibliographies 
in which some entries have been tran¬ 
scribed from other records without actual 
examination of the books themselves. Gen¬ 
eral bibliographies on the other hand, of¬ 
ten give fuller descriptions and annotations.

The most important general list of early American 
publications, indispensable in the large reference or 
special library. Includes books, pamphlets, and 
periodicals, arranged chronologically by dates of 
publication; gives for each book listed, author’s full 
name with dates of birth and death, full title, place, 
date, publisher or printer, paging, size, and, when¬ 
ever possible, names of libraries possessing copies. 
Each volume has three indexes: (1) authors, (2) 
classified subjects, (3) printers and publishers. The 
location of copies is an especially important feature.

Half-title: Bibliotheca American, by which title it 
is generally known. 

An important bibliography of Americana, includ¬ 
ing books, pamphlets and periodicals printed in 
America, and works about America printed else¬ 
where. Comprises more than S2,000 numbered en¬ 
tries, but the actual number of titles recorded is 
much greater as that total does not count the added 
editions and titles mentioned in the various notes. 
The arrangement is by authors, with some title 
entries for anonymous works and other entries under 
names of places, and the information given includes 
full title, place, publisher, date, format, paging, 
often contents and bibliographical notes with refer¬ 
ence to a description or review in some other work 
and, in many cases, names of libraries possessing 
copies. This last feature is important for inter- 
library loans.

ferred from existing lists except for 1910-11 pub¬ 
lications, the entries for which are transferred from 
the Cumulative book index 1910-11. Forms an ap¬ 
proximately complete record of books published in 
the U. S. which were in print January 1, 1912, 
including books published in the regular book trade, 
privately printed books and publications of smaller 
publishers, importations of some firms, books issued

Supplements to the main work described above, 
on the same general plan but, in general, with fuller 
information, i. e. full title, paging, size, illustrations, 
binding, edition, date, publisher, price, L. C. card 
number, and occasional contents or other notes. 

Indispensable for order department work, as an 
adjunct to the library catalogue, and as a reference 
tool for many subjects: verification of titles, authors’ 
names and dates, questions of authorship when only 
title is known, lists of books on a given subject, etc. 
Subject lists of fiction i. e. Ghost stories, sea 
stories, detective stories, etc., and the use of the 
subhead fiction under many subjects e. g. European 
war-fiction, are useful in answering various types 
of reference questions on the subject of fiction. 

General lists, such as those listed above, 
can not be absolutely complete, and must 
often be supplemented, especially for local 
literature, by local or regional bibliog¬ 
raphies, such as the Bibliography of Vir¬ 
ginia, by E. G. Swem, published by the 
Virginia State Library (Richmond, 1916- 
17, 2 v.), Bibliography of Maine, by 
Joseph Williamson (Portland, 1896, 2 v.), 
Pacific Northwest Americana, a check¬ 
list, by C. W. Smith (N. Y., Wilson, 1921), 
and other books of this type.

formerly given in the first issue of each month, but 
this was discontinued after January, 1919. Special

A collection of publishers’ catalogues, arranged 
alphabetically by publisher’s name, and bound up in 
one large volume. As the catalogues are not com¬ 
piled on any uniform system, the amount of infor¬ 
mation given about books varies greatly, ranging 
from full information and occasional notes in some 
lists to only short title and price in others; in gen¬ 
eral dates of publication are omitted. Lists only 
books in print, and so is primarily useful for finding 
quickly the price of a book and whether or not it is 
in print. Corresponds in general to the English 
“Reference catalogue” (see p. 213), but differs from 
that work (1) in being issued annually, and (2) in 
not having an index regularly. Only two indexes 
were issued, as follows:

v. 1 arranged chronologically by date of sales, 
v. 2-26, alphabetically by authors and some titles, in 
two lists, (1) printed books, periodicals, etc., (2) 
manuscripts and autographs; volumes 1-10 have sub¬

Information given varies somewhat, but from v. 11 
on includes author, title, edition, place, date, size, 
binding, condition, sale, name of auctioneer, date 
of sale, lot number in original auction catalog, price. 
Includes books of all periods and languages and is 
of importance in reference work not only as a record 
of market prices of second-hand books but also as 
a supplement to the general and national bibliog¬ 
raphies, as it not infrequently includes titles or edi¬ 
tions not listed in such bibliographies. In case of 
rare books location of the copies sold can sometimes 
be traced by applying to the auctioneer, and the 
giving of the lot number in the original sales catalog 
furnishes a clue to a fuller and sometimes important 
description.

by periods ranging from three years to 25 years, 
the volumes for each period consisting of (1) a main

author’s full name, full title of book, edition, place

price, and occasional brief notes and (2) a subject

list arranged by broad subjects, with briefer infor¬ 
mation i. e. title, author, size, date and price only. 
Includes books, pamphlets, some theses and annuals 
but not periodicals, and lists some Belgian and Swiss 
publications, i. e. books in French published in Bel¬ 
gium or Switzerland but handled regularly by some 
French firm also. Special features are: (1) the 
inclusion of brief biographical notes about the 
authors whose works are listed, (2) the linking to¬ 
gether of all entries for the same author by cross- 
references from the later to the earlier volumes, 
(3) the occasional brief notes which tell whether a 
book has been crowned by the French Academy, 
refer in case of reissues or later editions to date of 
first edition and in case of books or pamphlets re¬ 
printed from periodicals, give reference to volume 
or date of the periodical, etc. The information about 
original publication in periodicals is often very 
useful.

cites; a supplement 1894-1900, is still to be pub¬ 
lished. 

Crowned by the French academy. 

An attempt to do for 19th century French litera¬ 
ture what Brunet’s Manuel does for general litera¬ 
ture of an earlier period. Covers in large part the 
same period as Lorenz, but with a selection of ma¬ 
terial, listing fewer titles than Lorenz but giving 
fuller information and annotations for those listed. 
Gives full titles and bibliographic notes, original 
price, and, often, prices realized at various auction 
sales.

OTHER COUNTRIES 

While the national bibliographies which 
are most used in the average library are 
the American, English, French and Ger¬ 
man groups noted above, the national bib¬ 
liographies of other countries will also be 
needed in some libraries, especially in col¬ 
lege and large reference libraries. In the 
following lists will be found the principal 
bibliographies for countries which have 
consecutive records of this sort covering a 
considerable period of years.

BIBLIOGRAPHY 


Contents: (1) Universal bibliographies; (2) Na¬ 
tional and regional bibliographies; (3) Subject 
bibliographies. Appendices contain: (1) Alphabet¬ 
ical list of places having printing presses before the 
19th century, arranged by the modern names, with 
indication of the Latin name of each place, the 
date of establishment of its press, and references 
to sources of information; (2) List of indexes of 
periodicals in all languages; (3) List of printed 
catalogues of libraries. 

There is a useful subject index, but no author 
index. As the subject index includes the Latin 
names of places listed in apx. 1, it serves also as 
a dictionary of Latin and mediaeval geography. 

The main list and appendices 2-3 are kept to date 
by the lists of new bibliographies, indexes and 
catalogues given in each number of Le bibliographe 
inoderne, edited by Henri Stein.

Monthly reference lists compiled by the Provi¬

compiled by the same library were printed in the 
Bulletin of bibliography Oct., 1899-Oct., 1906. Most 
of these quarterly lists were superseded by the 


Bulletin of bibliography pamphlet noted above but 
the earlier numbers must still be used to bridge part 
of the gap between that pamphlet and Mrs. Nacht-

American library annual, 1911/12-15/18. 
N. Y. Publishers’ weekly, 1912-18.* v. 1- 
5. $5 per vol. 020.5 

Each volume contains a section “Bibliographies of 
the year” arranged alphabetically by subjects, which 
serves as an annual bibliography of bibliographies. 
This section, which was a feature also of the two 
earlier publications, Annual literary index and An¬ 
nual library index, includes both separately pub¬ 
lished bibliographies and analytic material. 

Another annual which records new bib¬ 
liographies is the Bibliographie des biblio- 
theks- und buchwesens, which is especially 
useful for its notes of new foreign bibliog¬ 
raphies. For description see under Period¬ 
icals-Special indexes, p. 11.

CHOICE OF BOOKS 

For a discussion of the principles of 
book selection and of the importance of 
the right selection of books consult E. L. 
Bascom’s Book selection. Chicago, A. L. 
A. pub. board, 1915; preprint of A. L. A. 
Manual of library economy, chapter 16. 
This is an excellent discussion from the 
point of view of the librarian. Various 
lists of “the world’s greatest books” chosen 
by teachers, writers, etc., are printed from 
time to time. The value of these depends 
upon the judgment and literary taste of the 
compiler. Certain lists which have been 
given wide circulation should be kept at 
hand for ready reference. One of the most 
frequently quoted of these short lists is 
President Charles W. Eliot’s “Five foot 
book shelf.” This has been often printed,

and may be found for example in the 
Outlook, 92: 426*, and in the pamphlet 
“Harvard classics” issued by Collier’s 
weekly. The following bibliographies are 
among the most useful of the longer lists 
of good books: 

Sonnenschein, William Swan. Best books; 
a reader’s guide to the choice of the best 
available books (about 100,000) in every 
department of science, art and literature, 
with the dates of the first and last editions, 
and the price, size and publisher’s name 
(both English and American) of each 
book, a contribution towards systematic 
bibliography. 3d ed. (entirely rewritten).

Supplement to A. L. A. Catalog, 1904. 

Contents: (1) Class list; (2) Books in A. L. A. 
Catalog, 1904, now out of print; (3) Books in A. 
L. A. Catalog, 1904, now issued in new editions; 
(4) Subject index, author index. 

Both the main work and the supplement are use¬ 
ful in a library for many purposes, for example, 
(a) as a guide in selecting books on any subject be¬ 
cause the selection was made by many experienced 
librarians, and because the brief annotations are 
often helpful; (b) as an aid in ordering because the 
publisher’s name and price are given and because 
care was exercised in the selection of editions; (c) 
in classifying books; (d) in the selection of subject 
headings; (e) in ordering printed catalog cards 
from the Library of Congress, because the card 
numbers are given. Planned especially for the 


public library but useful also in other types. 

A new supplement to be issued. 

A previous A. L. A. catalog was published in 
1893, entitled Catalog of “A. L. A. Library,” 5,000 
volumes for a popular library (Wash. Government 
printing office).)

‘‘The main purpose of the A. L. A. Booklist is to 
aid public libraries in book buying; its secondary 
aim is to give assistance in cataloging and classi¬ 
fying to librarians whose training or experience is 
limited.” 

A monthly guide which gives carefully selected 
lists of recent publications in general literature, 
fiction, children’s books, U. S. government docu¬ 
ments, and new editions of older works. Before 
1915 the general list was an alphabetical author list 
but after that date it is a classified list arranged by 
the Dewey D. C. numbers. For each book in¬ 
cluded the Booklist gives author’s full name, title, 
place, publisher, date, paging, price, L. C. card 
number, D. C. class number, suggested subject head¬ 
ings and a careful critical note which estimates the 
value of the book, compares it with other works and 
indicates kind of library for which it is recommended.

Arranged by subject, according to the main sub¬ 
heads of the Library of Congress classification, with 
alphabetical index by subjects and names of 
libraries, collectors, donors, etc. Gives statistics 
and brief descriptions of collections, with references 
to printed catalogs or detailed descriptions. Useful 
to the research worker and for purposes of inter- 
library loans. A supplement listing recent collec¬ 
tions was printed in the Library Journal, 38: 331-33, 
June, 1913. 

CATALOGS 

Printed catalogs of libraries are useful 
reference aids not only to the cataloger 
but to the reference worker also. To the 
latter they are useful for verification of 
titles, descriptions of books and editions, 
information about authorship, contents, 
etc., analytic and other added entries not 
given in the library's own catalog, occa¬ 
sional notes, location of copies, etc. Dic¬ 
tionary and subject catalogs are also 
helpful in finding lists of books about 
subjects.

An important modern catalog, the value of which, 
to either the cataloger or the reference worker in 
the large library, can not be overestimated. An 
alphabetical author catalog, including only entries 
under names of personal authors, with the necessary 
cross references; does not include title entries for 
anonymous books or entries for anonymous classics, 
periodicals or society transactions or government or 
corporate authors. The cataloging is excellent, the 
information given includes author’s full name, sup¬ 
plied whenever possible, title, place, publisher, date, 
edition, paging or volumes, format, and occasional 
notes of contents, original publication in case of 
reprints from periodicals, etc. An important refer¬ 
ence feature in the case of authors whose works 
are voluminous or often reprinted is the detailed 
alphabetical title index under the author’s name, 
which indicates in what volumes or editions a given 
work may be found; as these indexes include also 
alternative and changed titles they are often very 
useful.

SUGGESTIVE LIST OF 100 REFERENCE BOOKS 


The following list is suggested as an aid to the smaller public library which, from 
funds often too limited to secure more than a few of the most essential reference works, 
finds the question of selection more difficult than the large library with its larger needs 
and larger income. It is a suggestive, not an absolute list, as no two libraries, of even 
the same size, have exactly the same needs, and their selection of reference books must 
be influenced by the character of the community,—whether urban, rural, industrial, edu¬ 
cational, etc.—the proportion and nature of the foreign language element in the library 
clientele, proximity to other libraries or sources of information, with the possibility of 
telephone or inter-library loan aid, the amount and kind of material already available in 
the non-reference collection, etc. Certain basic works, a dictionary, an encyclopedia, 
an atlas, a biographical dictionary, a book of quotations, a handbook of statistics, a 
state or government manual, are needed everywhere, but the selection, and especially 
the order of purchase, of other works will often be modified by the local conditions and 
demands. 

This suggestive list gives brief title only; for fuller information as to publisher, 
editions, prices, etc., reference should be made to the description in the main part of 
the Guide. As the selection is for American libraries primarily, the titles included are, 
in the main, those of American publications. In purchasing any book of which there 
are both English and American editions, any difference in price should be taken into 
account, and the librarian should also remember that especially in the case of reference 
books now absolutely new, money can often be saved by asking for quotations before 
purchasing, advertising for copies, or purchasing secondhand or at auction. Govern¬ 
ment publications can usually be obtained free, and the librarian who is building up a 
reference collection on very limited funds should take full advantage of that fact.
